ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam J.) The call letter issued under Section 7(2) of the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997 dated 24.01.2022 is under challenge in the present writ proceedings.
2. Section 7(2) of the Act enumerates that "Where the amount has been determined by agreement between the Government and the person to whom the amount has to be paid, it shall be paid in accordance in accordance with such agreement".
3. The petitioners, in response to the notice, are expected to submit their explanations or disagreement for negotiation or otherwise. However, no writ against such notice is entertainable. A writ petition challenging a notice can be entertained, if it is issued by an incompetent authorities having no jurisdiction or tainted with allegation of mala fides. Page No.8 of 12
4. In the present case, the learned counsel for the writ petitioners would submit that the land acquisition proceedings were concluded and in respect of portion of the land possession also had been taken. That being the factum, the impugned notice has lost its relevance. However, if any grievances exist regarding the subsequent actions initiated and concluded, the petitioners are at liberty to pursue their grounds in the pending proceedings.
5. Thus, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. (S.M.SUBRAMANIAM J.)(MOHAMMED SHAFFIQ J.) 25-10-2025 Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet:Yes Jeni Page No.9 of 12
