[Order of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.] Mr.P.Thilak Kumar, learned Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents 1 to 6. Mr.R.J.Karthick, learned counsel takes notice for the respondents 7 and 8.
2.The petitioner would claim that the land in Survey No.1650/15 is Government Poramboke and the respondents 7 and 8 are putting up construction unauthorizedly in the Government land. 3.Mr.R.J.Karthick, learned counsel appearing for the respondents 7 and 8 has produced an assignment order made as early as on 13.08.2018,
wherein it is shown that an extent of about 140 square metres in Survey No. 1650/15, has been assigned to one Vignesh, son of Mr.Pandarasamy. 4.The proceedings of the Tahsildar, Thiruvengadam, dated 11.08.2018, have also been produced, wherein lands in Survey Nos. 1650/14, 1650/15, 1650/8 and 1650/9 have been surveyed and patta has been issued to 60 individuals. A plan showing the respective allotments have also been placed before us. Even from the type set filed by the petitioner, it could be seen that the petitioner has objected to assignment of land to the individuals concerned.
5.In the light of the above factual position, it is clear that the claim of the petitioner that construction is being put up in the Government land is incorrect. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the grant of assignment, it is upto him to challenge the same in a manner known to law. 6.The Writ Petition is therefore, dismissed. No Costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
