ORDER
(The Order of the Court was made by K.KALYANASUNDARAM,J)
Heard Mr.R.Muthukumar, learned counsel for the petitioner,
Mr.M.K.Ponraj, learned counsel appearing for the first
respondent, Mrs.C.Sumathy Sreekanth, learned Standing Counsel
appearing for the second respondent, Mr.M.K.Prabakar, learned
counsel appearing for the third respondent and perused the
materials available on record.
2. The petitioner has come forward with this writ petition
seeking for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the
respondents 1 and 2 to remove the unauthorised construction made
by the third respondents at Maha Flats, No.64/74, Dhargas Road,
Zamin Pallavaram, Chennai – 600 117.
3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the first
respondent would submit that based on the complaint of the
petitioner, a pre-notice dated 21.12.2021 was issued to the
third respondent for production of the approved plan. Since
there was no response, final order came to be passed on
07.01.2022 directing the third respondent to remove the
encroachment.
4. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the third
respondent that no unauthorised construction is made by the
third respondent as alleged by the petitioner, but he
constructed only a security room. However, considering the fact
that the first respondent had already passed an order on
07.01.2022, we are of the considered opinion that nothing
survives for further consideration in this writ petition.
Hence, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
