ORDER
(ORDER OF THE COURT WAS MADE BY DR.G.JAYACHANDRAN,J.) The writ petition has been filed, being aggrieved by the order of eviction in the revision and stay petition under Section 10(A)(B) of the Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act, on 14.08.2025. Though one year has gone, no order has been passed by the first respondent in the revision petition. Hence, the present writ petition.
2. The learned Additional Government Pleader, after taking notice, on instruction, submitted that the revision petition will be decided on merits within a reasonable time.
3. Considering the pendency of the revision petition for nearly one year, we direct the first respondent to dispose of the writ petition preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
4. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. (Dr.G.JAYACHANDRAN,J.) (E.MANOHARAN,J.) 01.09.2026 ari Index:yes/no Neutral citation:yes/no To
