ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by N.SATHISH KUMAR, J.)

This writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the first and second respondents to take action against the illegal construction of building in T.S.No.2597/1, D.No.2B, Ward No.45, Kamarajapuram, Old West Street, Now Muthuramalinga Thevar Street, Madurai-625009 by the 4th and 5th respondent and remove the same by considering the representation of the petitioner dated 13.11.2025 within a time frame.

A careful perusal of the affidavit filed in support of this petition shows that there is a civil dispute in O.S.No.348 of 2025 on the file of the Principal District Munsif Court, Madurai is pending between the parties. Therefore, we are of the view that when a civil suit is pending between the parties, the petitioner cannot maintain the present writ petition in the guise of un-authorised construction. The petitioner has to workout her remedy only in the pending suit. We do not find any merits in this writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed.

In the result, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
