O R D E R
[Order of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.] The writ petitioner filed the present review petition mainly on the ground that the authorities have not taken any action against the complaint given by the review petitioner to remove the encroachment. 2.This Court passed final orders in the writ petition on 23.06.2022 granting liberty to the petitioner to workout his remedy in the manner known to law. More so, the public interest litigation is not maintainable 2/5
is also the finding made by this Court. Therefore, the grounds raised in the present review application would show that it is relating to merits which cannot be adjudicated in a review proceeding. Power of review cannot be expanded for re-adjudication of merits and thus, the review petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
