(Order of the Court was made by Mr.T.S.Sivagnanam, J.) The petitioner has approached this Court as a public interest litigant alleging that a layout has been formed by a Co-operative Society and the entrance to the layout is through a land classified as 'Kalam Medu'.

2.Learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents, on instructions, submits that the total extent of the layout is about 164 acres and the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has granted approval and the officials have visited the area and have instructed that the 'Kalam Medu' should not be utilised as entrance for the layout. 3.In the light of the instruction already given to the concerned officials as well as the developer, it would suffice to place the same on record and dispose of the writ petition. In view of the stand taken by the official respondents, if there is any entrance illegally constructed/ laid in the 'Kalam Medu', action should be initiated in accordance with law by removing the said construction.

4.Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. Sd/- Asst.Registrar (CS II ) /true copy/ Sub Asst. Registrar sra To 1.The Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Govt. of Tamil Nadu, Fort St. George, Chennai.
