Jaleel Mohammed S v. The District Collector

ORDER [Order of the Court was made by G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.] Heard both sides.

2.The writ petitioner wants the authorities to take action to recreate the water body that was in existence in S.No.40/6 in Ilayangudi North Village.

3.We are not in a position to grant the said relief for the simple reason that the issue had already been dealt with by the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in W.P(MD)No.20941 of 2019, dated 27.09.2019. Paragraph Nos.4 and 5 of the said order read as follows: "4.Oral instruction given to the leaned Government Advocate from the Officer of the second respondent is that the revenue entry in favour of the petitioner Jamath is wrong and the matter requires to be investigated as to how the entry was made in the name of the petitioner Jamath.

¶5Admittedly, the school has been functioning for a quiet long period of years and in the representation given by the petitioner, it is stated that the School was started in the year 1935. Therefore, the respondent cannot dispute the said fact that the institution has been running for several years. Thus, as long as the revenue entry stands in the name of the petitioner Jamath, the respondents cannot take any high handed act and they are restrained from taking any high handed act against the petitioner Jamath."

4.The learned Government Advocate also confirms that as on date the revenue record in respect of S.No.40/6 is in the name of the Jamath.

5.Hence the relief sought for cannot be granted. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. [G.R.S., J.] [B.P., J.]
