JUDGMENT
(Judgment of the court was delivered by G.R.Swaminathan, J.) Heard both sides.
2.The appellant's patta was cancelled. Questioning the same, the appellant filed W.P.(MD)No.23930 of 2017. The contention projected by the appellant before the learned Single Judge was that since civil court is seized of the matter, the revenue authority could not have cancelled the patta. However, the learned Single Judge disposed of the writ petition with an observation that the rights of the parties would abide by the outcome of O.S.No.113 of 2016 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Paramakudi. Challenging the said order dated 26.11.2021 made in W.P.(MD)No.23930 of 2017, this writ appeal came to be filed. 2/4
3.When the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the appellant fairly submitted that the suit went against the appellant and that he has since filed A.S.No.4 of 2024 before the Sub Court, Paramakudi. The rights of the parties will abide by the outcome of A.S.No.4 of 2024. No further observation is warranted in this writ appeal and the writ appeal is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
