                                                        ORDER

This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the second respondent herein

to take action against the respondents 5 to 6 and to forebear the respondents

5 to 6 from preventing the petitioner from entering her property and also

direct the respondents to provide compensation for a sum of Rs.5,00,000/-

[Rupees Five lakhs only] as damages to the petitioner, towards the damages

caused to the petitioner due to the inaction on the part of the respondents

number 4 to 6 particularly the respondent number six, damaging the

petitioner's motor pump set, electricity meter board, pipe line, wiring, crops

etc., contrary to the judgment and decree in O.S.No.71 of 2008 on the file of

the District Munsif Court, Tindivanam.

2. It is the contention of the petitioner that he is in possession to an

extent of 0.31.0 Ares in Survey Nos. 15/6-B &15/8A in patta No.73

Nangunam Village and he has also filed a suit for declaration in O.S.No.71

of 2008 and despite the decree and judgment, the seventh and eighth

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP.No.36170 of 2015

respondents are trying to interfere with his possession. Therefore, he has

preferred a complaint with the fourth respondent. However, no action has

been taken on the complaint preferred by the petitioner. Hence, this Writ

Petition.

3. At the outset, this Court is of the view that when the writ petitioner

has obtained a decree for declaration and injunction, if there is any violation

of such decree, the decree can be enforced in the Civil Court and the

violators can be brought under law. Therefore, there cannot be any direction

to take action on the basis of the representation given by the petitioner. It is

well open to the petitioner to execute the decree in the manner known to law

against the violators.

4. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. Consequently,

connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
