Heard both sides.
2.This writ petition was earlier allowed on 20.04.2021. The fifth respondent in the writ petition had filed Rev.Aplw(MD)No.85 of 2021. It was allowed vide order dated 19.11.2024 in the following terms :
"4. Considering the submissions made on either side and also the materials available on record, the order passed in the Writ Petition suffers from an error apparent on the face of the order, since the Court did not take into consideration the judgment and decree passed in O.S.No.133 of 2005, dated 08.07.2009, by the learned District Munsif, Paramakudi, which also touched upon the pathway dispute. Accordingly, the order passed in the Writ Petition dated 20.04.2021 is hereby withdrawn and this Review Application is accordingly allowed. 2/4
