ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by G.R.Swaminathan J.) Heard the learned counsel for the writ petitioner, the learned Special Government Pleader for the respondents 1 and 2 and the learned Government Advocate for the third respondent.
2. The learned Government Advocate for the third respondent states that the survey number has been wrongly mentioned. Therefore, the

The Block Development Officer has the power to call upon the encroacher to vacate. But if the encroacher fails to vacate, he has to send a proposal to the jurisdictional Tahsildar for taking action under the Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act.
3. With the aforesaid clarification, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (G.R.S.,J.) (M.D.S.,J.) 15-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No IAS To
