Case Note & Summary
The writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenged the order dated 04.05.2023 passed by the Commissioner of Land Administration, the first respondent, cancelling assignments of government lands in Sivagangai District.

The first petitioner purchased portions of the assigned lands in 2000 from the original assignees and later applied for a quarry lease. The petitioners contended that the cancellation order was illegal, erroneous, and without jurisdiction. The matter was heard and reserved on 13.03.2025, and the judgment was delivered on 19.03.2025. The full text of the judgment is not available; therefore, the court's reasoning, decision, and ratio are unknown.
