ORDER
This writ petition has been filed, seeking for a mandamus to direct the respondents to provide access to the petitioner's property based on the petitioner's representation dated 08.10.2025.
2. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that his access to his property has been blocked by the construction of a Primary Health Centre
(PHC) by the respondent's Panchayat. His property is situated in S.No.35/6 of Arakkonam Town and Taluk, Ranipet District. The petitioner has also filed the sketch along with this writ petition to show that he has no access for his property situated in S.No.35/6 due to the construction put up by the respondent Panchayat. Hence, the petitioner has given a representation to the respondents on 08.10.2025, seeking allotment of land measuring 1091 sq.ft. in T.S. No.37 of Arakkonam Town Survey Arakkonam Town, Arakkonam Taluk, Ranipet District, which is lying before the petitioner's land in S. No.35/6 for the purpose of getting access. Since the said representation has not been considered, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.
3. Earlier, a writ petition was filed, challenging the tender notification issued by the respondents for the construction of the Primary Health Centre on the ground that the petitioner's access will get blocked if the said Primary Health Centre is constructed. The writ petition was dismissed. Aggrieved by the same, the writ appeal was filed in W.A. No.170 of 2025.
4. By an order dated 12.09.2025, the Division Bench of this Court in W.A. No.170 of 2025 has disposed of the writ appeal. The Division Bench of this Court has not interfered with the tender process, but however, granted liberty for the petitioner to submit a representation seeking for the relief sought for in this writ petition viz., giving access to the petitioner for his land situated in S.No.35/6.
5. Admittedly, the representation of the petitioner is yet to be considered by the respondents. As seen from the sketch produced by the petitioner, along with this writ petition, on a prima facie consideration, this Court also finds that the petitioner does not have access to his property.
6. No prejudice would be caused to the respondents, if the petitioner's representation is considered on merits and in accordance with law after affording one personal hearing to the petitioner within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.
7. For the foregoing reasons, this Court directs the first and second respondents to pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law on the petitioner's representation dated 08.10.2025, seeking for allotment of land measuring 1091 sq.ft. in T.S. No.37 of Arakkonam Town Survey Arakkonam Town, Arakkonam Taluk, Ranipet District, which is lying before the petitioner's land in S.No.35/6 of Arakkonam Town and Taluk, Ranipet District for his ingress and egress within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order after affording one personal hearing to the petitioner.
8. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No Costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
