(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Acting Chief Justice) Alleging that respondents 4 and 5 have put up encroachments on both sides of the main entrance of Government Hospital Road situate at Hospital Road, Madurantagam, Chengalpattu District, the petitioner sent a representation on 29.5.2024 to respondents 1 to 3 seeking removal of the said encroachment.

The entire

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs.
