ORDER

The present Writ Petition is filed for Mandamus, to direct the 1st respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 29.04.2026 and to transfer the investigation in CSR No.653/2026 pending before the 2nd respondent to some other competent officer.

2. The contention of the petitioner is that the land belongs to Thiruvaduthurai Aadhinam. Some persons are illegally quarrying the said land. Hence, the petitioner raised an objection and preferred a complaint before the second respondent. Even though the complaint was preferred on 14.04.2026, the second respondent registered the same only on 17.04.2026. Hence, the petitioner apprehends that the investigation may not be proper.

3. This Court is of the considered opinion that, since the complaint was preferred on 14.04.2026, it is at a nascent stage. Therefore, there cannot be any transfer of investigation. Accordingly, the second respondent shall conduct the investigation and the first respondent shall monitor the same. 2/4

4. With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. 07.05.2026 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes/ No Indu Note: Issue order copy on 07.05.2026.
