O R D E R

(Order of the Court was made by Hon'ble Mr.Justice R.SUBRAMANIAN) We see no merits in the Review Petition. All that we have said in the writ petition is, to direct the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority to remove the violated constructions in the building concerned. Mr.G.Srinivasan, appearing party-in-person would submit that the Hon'ble Supreme Court, by its order made in Writ Petition (Civil) No.295 of 2022 dated 13.11.2024 held that only such construction, which is found to be unauthorized and not compoundable, shall be demolished. This Court sitting under Article 226 of The Constitution of India cannot decide which portion of the violation is compoundable and which portion of the violation is not compoundable. It is for the petitioner to draw the attention of the Authorities to the judgment and point out that the portion of the building, which is in violation of the sanctioned plan or it should be classified as a minor deviation and compoundable should not be removed. Leaving it open to the

petitioner to undertake such exercise, we dismiss this review petition. No costs.
