THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21824 of 2011 ORDER: Alleging illegal construction, by the 3rd respondent over the petitioner’s land, the present writ petition is filed. It is the case of the petitioner that a well, which is now not in use, is situated in her land; the 3rd respondent had reclaimed the well and was resorting to illegal construction; and, despite representations to the 1st and 2nd respondents, no action is being taken to stop the illegal construction resorted to by the 3rd respondent. Sri G.Elisha, Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the 2nd respondent, would submit that the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition is vague, and does not specifically state as to whether or not the 3rd respondent has obtained permission for construction. Permission for construction within the limits of Gram Panchayat is required to be given by the Executive Officer of the Gram Panchayat concerned. As to whether or not the 3rd respondent has obtained permission for construction is not clear from the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. I consider it appropriate, therefore, to direct the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation in accordance with law, and in case the 3rd respondent has not obtained prior permission for construction of the building in question, to take necessary action in accordance with law. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. ___________ 03-08-2011 Note: C.C. in three days B/o asp
