ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by PUSHPA SATHYANARAYANA, J.) Earlier, this Court in W.P(MD)No.1501 of 2020 dated 30.07.2021, had issued a direction to the Executive Officer, Aravakurichi Town Panchayat, to issue notice to the writ petitioner herein, who was the 5th respondent in that writ petition and after affording him an opportunity of hearing, take action in accordance with law. The said order was passed on 30.07.2021. 2.Admittedly, the 5th respondent had not issued any notice or conducted any enquiry in this regard. However, he had issued a notice impugned dated 21.09.2021, calling upon the writ petitioner herein to remove the encroachment in Survey No.308 which is classified as cart track.

3.The grievance of the writ petitioner is that earlier direction of this Court has not been complied with by the respondents.

4.Be that as it may, the respondents 3 and 5 are directed to issue notice to the writ petitioner herein as well as the writ petitioner in earlier W.P(MD)No.1501/2020, conduct an enquiry and file a status report. In the event, it is found that the construction made by the writ petitioner herein is on Survey No.308, the writ petitioner is directed to remove the encroachment and deliver vacant possession to the authorities. 5.With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, WMP(MD)Nos.16724 and 16726 of 2021 are closed.
