On direction, Mr. T. Mathi, learned standing counsel for the Corporation of Chennai and Ms. Bhavani Subbarayan, learned Government Advocate takes notice for respondents 1 and 4 respectively. 3. It is brought to our notice that among the respondents, the first respondent is the authority concerned to consider the grievance of the petitioner. It is also brought to our notice that though the residents of Thiruvalluvarpettai Street made a representation as early as on 19.01.1999 to the Zonal Officer-X, Corporation of Chennai for removal of the encroachments in Sankaran Street/Thiruvalluvarpettai Street, till this date no action was taken. Further, the petitioner himself made another representation to the Commissioner, Corporation of Chennai and other two authorities on 31.01.2007, praying for action for removal of the encroachment from the road, viz., Sankaran Street/Thiruvalluvarpettai Street. The petitioner has also filed necessary proof that his representation was acknowledged by all the respondents, including the first respondent. In view of the same and considering the limited relief prayed for, we are of the view that ends of justice would be met by directing the first respondent, Commissioner, Corporation of Chennai to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 31.01.2007, in accordance with law. It is made clear that if any action is to be taken against the encroachers, it is needless to mention that the first respondent is duty bound to take steps as per law. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
