1. The factual matrix of the case is as under:

The dispute in this case relates to laying a link road covering a distance of 650 Metres in S.N. High Road, Tirunelveli between Parvathi Theatre and Arunagiri Theatre. It appears that there was a demand from the public to lay a link road for quite sometime. But, somehow or the other, the proposal did not go through. When P. Jeganathan alias Ganesan (A1) became the Deputy Mayor of Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation, he started taking steps to complete the project between 2014-2015. A busybody, by name, S. Sudalaikannu filed a Public Interest Litigation in W.P.(MD) No.1842 of 2015 for the issuance of a writ of mandamus forbearing the Revenue and Municipal Authorities from laying the road without finalizing the acquisition proceedings.

2. A Division Bench of this Court heard the matter in detail and passed final orders on 06.07.2015 closing the writ petition with the following observations:
