For Petitioner : Mr.P.Santhanakrishnan For Respondents : Mr.K.Mahendran Special Government Pleader O R D E R [Order of the Court was made BY P.JYOTHIMANI, J] Admittedly, the property of the petitioner, which is the subject matter in this Writ Petition, has been acquired under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Harijan Welfare Schemes Act, 1978. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the said land was acquired for Harijans' welfare, some third parties have put up some construction and the respondents have not taken any action to remove the same, and therefore, the petitioner has made a representation on 30.06.2011 to the respondents. The Writ Petition is for a direction against the respondents to consider the said representation and pass orders. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 2. On the face of it, we are of the view that the petitioner has no locus standi to file the present Writ Petition or seek a direction to the respondents to consider his representation and pass orders. If really the acquisition has already been completed, the Government becomes the owner of the property, in which event, it is for the appropriate authorities to take appropriate action in the manner known to law. Therefore, the Writ Petition stands dismissed with the above observation. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is also dismissed.
