(Order of the Court was made by M.DHANDAPANI, J.)

This Writ Petition has been filed for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 08.07.2026

2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. Since no adverse order is going to be passed, notice to the third respondent is dispensed with.

3. Aggrieved by the construction made by the third respondent without leaving the required setback and the prescribed gap between the petitioner's house and the third respondent's property, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 08.07.2026 to the respondents seeking inspection of the property, verification of the construction with reference to the approved plan and physical measurement of the alleged unauthorised construction. Since no effective action has been taken on the said representation, the present Writ Petition has been filed.

4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that it would suffice if this Court issues a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to consider the petitioner's representation dated 08.07.2026 and pass appropriate orders thereon, on merits and in accordance with law, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.

5. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2, on instructions, would submit that the authority concerned will consider the petitioner's grievance and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law.

6.
