ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) On 5.12.2016, we had noted as under:
"The petitioners' request for grant of patta has been declined by the impugned order 23.5.2005 at page 30. The impugned order records that the land in question is tank land and being a water area, apart from any other reason patta cannot be issued. Now, there is a legal impediment in granting patta, in view of the Full Bench judgment of this Court in T.K.Shanmugam, Secretary, CPI(M), North Chennai District Committee, 52, Cooks Road, Perambur, Chennai - 11 v. The State of Tamil Nadu, rep. by its Secretary to Government, Department of Revenue, Fort St. George, Chennai - 9 and others, reported in 2015-5-L.W.397."
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners has not been able to persuade us as to how pattas can be given in respect of the land in question in view of the aforesaid impediment.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners faced with the aforesaid position states that the petitioners had vacated the original site on a premise that they would be rehabilitated by issuance of patta and if patta cannot be issued in respect of the land in question, then the petitioners may be rehabilitated in some other place.
4. The aforesaid is an aspect which the State Government may examine qua the issue of an alternative site being given to the petitioners and the exercise be completed within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt of the order. The petition, accordingly, stands closed. No costs. Sd/- Asst.Registrar (CO) /true copy/ Sub Asst. Registrar To:
