The brief facts, as stated in the affidavit, necessary for the disposal of this writ petition, are as under: The petitioners are the permanent residents of the Poo.Kunalavadi Village. They do not possess any own land and they have only been issued with the revenue Pattas by the Government. Under the Indira Memorial Group House Scheme, the first respondent has sanctioned 344 houses for the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe community people and 158 houses for the people belonging to other communities in Villupuram District, based on the proceedings of the Director of Rural Development, Chennai, out of which 10 houses have been sanctioned for the Poo.Kunalavadi village. The eligibility for such allotment was also indicated by the first respondent in his order dated 25.06.2004, which states that, house site will be allotted to a person only if such person is having revenue patta. Also, in the Special Village Sabha Meeting held on 02.07.2004 conducted by the third respondent, 10 members have been selected including the petitioners, for allotment of house under the said scheme. To this effect, work order has been granted to the petitioners vide order of the second respondent in Na.Ka.A3/2501/2004, dated 30.06.2004, with certain conditions. Based on the work order, the petitioners have demolished their respective houses and dug pits for laying the necessary foundation by spending a sum of about Rs.10,000/-. But, all of a sudden, the second respondent in his proceedings in Na.Ka.A3/3680/2004, dated 13.09.2004, cancelled the work order allotted by the 1st respondent, District Collector without any notice or enquiry. In these circumstances, the present writ petition is filed seeking relief as above. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 3. The learned counsel appearing for the second respondent has produced the original letter Na.Ka.A3/5289/2004, dt.19.10.2005 from the second respondent, stating that houses have been allocated for the petitioners as per the order of the District Collector Na.Ka.A3/1883/2005, dated 1.10.2005, and submitted that in view of the allocation of houses as per the above order of the District Collector, nothing survives in the writ petition.
