ORDER

Heard both sides.

2.The petitioner herein filed W.P(MD)No.14779 of 2014 to forbear the authorities from dispossessing her. The writ petition was disposed of by me on 19.09.2019 directing the authorities to adopt due process of law. I gave a finding that the writ petitioner appeared to be in possession of the petition mentioned property. The petitioner has filed the contempt petition alleging that on 08.01.2026, she was dispossessed . 3.I was under impression that the petitioner was an underdog and that she has to be given some kind of protection by this Court. It is admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner's husband was a Deputy Superintendent of Police. It is further categorically stated by the respondents that the petitioner is permanently residing in Umachikulam and that she never resided in the petition mentioned property. It is open to the petitioner to establish her claim in 2/4

the manner known to law. This is not a case in which the contempt jurisdiction of this Court deserves to be exercised since several factual disputes have arisen.

4.Granting liberty to the petitioner to move the jurisdictional civil Court for appropriate relief, this Contempt Petition is closed. 25.03.2026 MGA To 1.The District Collector, Madurai District, Madurai.

2.The District Revenue Officer, Madurai.

3.The Tahsildar, Madurai East Taluk, Madurai.
