Order
This writ petition has been filed seeking for a direction to the first respondent to consider and dispose of the petitioner’s representation dated 10.06.2026 and consequently take up and dispose of the Revision Petition filed under Section 80-A (3) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act 1971, within such time as may be stipulated by this Court and direct the concerned corporation authorities to act in accordance with the final order passed by the competent authority.
2.Mr.S.Sidhartha Vishnu, learned Government Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the first respondent. Mr.D.B.R.Prabhu, learned Standing Counsel accepts notice on behalf of respondents 2 and 3.
3.The grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that a representation dated 10.06.2026 sent by the petitioner to dispose of the Revision Petition filed by him under Section 80-A(3) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 has not been considered by the respondents.Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court.
4.It is relevant to note that the first respondent had already passed an order in letter No.8808906/UDB(2)/2024-1 dated 26.09.2025 regarding the construction violations, after considering the objections raised. Against the said order, a revision petition under Section 80-A has been filed and an order of interim stay has been granted by the first respondent. The petitioner, who is not a party to those proceedings, has given a representation solely seeking for speedy disposal of the said revision petition. Since the petitioner is not a party to the said proceedings, he cannot claim for speedy disposal. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed as devoid of merits. No costs.
