[Order of the Court was made by DR.G.JAYACHANDRAN, J.]

This civil miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking to prefer a third party appeal as against the order dated 15.10.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(MD) No.25840 of 2025. 2. The petitioner / proposed appellant claims that he has right in Survey No.674/18 for which there is also a civil suit filed by his mother and the same is pending disposal. Hence, the petitioner seeks leave to prefer a third party appeal as against the order passed by the learned Single Judge.

3. On perusal of the order passed by the learned Single Judge, this Court finds that the order of the learned Single Judge does not confer any title to the writ petitioner. Only a direction has been issued to the Panchayat Commissioner to collect the property tax and issue property tax receipt to the writ petitioner, with a rider that the said arrangement is subject to the outcome of the civil suit. Hence, we are of the view that a third party appeal is not necessary against the order passed by the learned Single Judge and if at all the petitioner herein has any right over the subject property, he has to work out his remedy in the pending civil suit in accordance with law.

4. Accordingly, this civil miscellaneous petition seeking leave of this Court to the petitioner herein to prefer a writ appeal as third party stands dismissed. Consequently, W.A.(MD) SR No.1349 of 2026 stands rejected.
