2. This Review Application has been filed to review the order and direction issued by this Court in W.P.No.26334 of 2003, dated 11.12.2012. The said Writ Petition was disposed of on the primary ground that though the Paramakudi Municipality, who were impleaded as sixth and seventh respondents in the Writ Petition have been served and they entered appearance, no counter affidavit was filed. Furthermore, it was noted that based on the order of the District Revenue Officer, dated 27.11.2002, the Writ Petition in W.P.No.26334 of 2003 was filed. The Review petitioner

would state that the name of the counsel of the Municipality was not printed in the cause list and the writ petition filed before the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court in W.P.(MD)No.11292 of 2010 though was dismissed as withdrawn, subsequently, the matter has been restored by an order dated 16.10.2011 and has been transferred to this Court. Thus, it is clear that the petitioner-Municipality viz., the Review Applicants did not have opportunity to contest the matter. This is sufficient ground to review and re-call the order dated 11.12.2012.

3. Accordingly, the Review Application is allowed and the order dated 11.12.2012 is re-called and the Writ Petition in W.P.No.26334 of 2003 is restored to the file of this Court and directed to be heard along with W.P.(MD)No.11292 of 2010.
