Case Note & Summary
The petitioners, Thangammal and Manikandan, filed two writ petitions before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. They sought a writ of certiorarified mandamus to quash an order dated 05.12.2024 passed by the third respondent, the Tahsildar of Vedasandhur Taluk, in Na.Ka.No.1168/2024/A3, insofar as it concerned them, and to direct the third respondent to consider their representations dated 20.11.2024 and 25.11.2024 for re-measurement of their property in S.F.No.383/38 and 383/39. The respondents were the District Collector, Dindigul District; the Revenue Divisional Officer, Palani; and the Tahsildar, Vedasandhur Taluk. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners, Mr. S. Gokulraj, sought permission to withdraw the writ petitions and made an endorsement to that effect in the court bundles. Recording the withdrawal, the court dismissed the writ petitions as withdrawn with no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions were closed. The judgment was delivered by a division bench comprising Justice M.S. Ramesh and Justice A.D. Maria Clete on 07.01.2025.
