Order
(Order of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam J.) Learned counsel appearing for the Corporation submits that the subject land has been classified as 'Greater Chennai Corporation public area' and the authorities are empowered to initiate action. In the present case, they have already initiated action and the encroachments have been removed.
2. Thus, no further adjudication is required in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. If at all any party claims title or right over the property, they are liberty to approach the civil Court. (S.M.S.,J.)
