1. Mr. N. Sakthivel, learned Government Advocate, takes notice for respondents 1 to 4 in all the writ petitions. Thus, with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Advocate, these writ petitions are taken up for final disposal, at the admission stage itself.

2.These writ petitions are filed, calling in question, the legality and validity of notices dated 06.01.2015 issued by the fourth respondent under Section 7 of the Tamil Nadu Act 3 of 1905 (for short “the Act”) and for a direction to the official respondents to take proper measurements on both sides of the road, i.e., Eastern side to Western side of Ramakrishna Nagar I Street, Melamaiyur Village Chengalpattu Taluk, Kancheepuram District, on the basis of Field Map Patta and the petitioners' registered sale deeds.

3. While questioning the legality and validity of the notices dated 06.01.2015, the petitioners have made an allegation that the private respondents, viz., M/s. Radhakrishnan, Rajan and Sasidharan are also encroachers and no action has been taken against them. Thus, no notice is required to be issued to the private respondents, at this stage.
