ORDER

[Made by R.VIJAYAKUMAR, J.] The present writ petition has been filed challenging the order directing eviction of the petitioner from two Survey Nos.1083/21 and 1083/22, situated at Pudhukulam Village, Sathaankulam Taluk, Thoothukudi District.

2. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, he has got assignment patta for Survey No.1083/21. Admittedly, no notice of eviction was issued to Survey No.1083/21. Further according to the petitioner, Survey No. 1083/22 is a 'Natham' land for which no record has been produced. There is no pleading with regard to the classification and character of the property in Survey No. 1083/22, for which notice has been issued. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon pendency of O.S.No.19 of 2012 before the District Munsif Court, Sathaankulam, wherein, the above suit has been filed for declaration of title and permanent injunction and the same is said to be pending, despite an order passed by the coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 13.02.2018 made in W.P(MD) No.12991 of 2012. Though there was a direction by this Court on 13.02.2018, the said order cannot be construed to be in favour of the present writ petitioner, since he is only the seventh respondent in the writ petition.

3. We do not find any grounds to interfere in the eviction notice issued by the Panchayat, in view of the fact that the petitioner could not make out a case for Survey Nos. 1083/21 and 1083/22.

4. Hence, this writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions would not survive. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CS-III) // True Copy // / /2022 Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) pkn/6 2/3
