Case Note & Summary

The matter arises from a writ appeal filed before the High Court of Judicature at Madras challenging the order dated 13.04.2022 passed in W.P.No.3236 of 2019. The appeal was listed before a Division Bench comprising Justice S. M. Subramaniam and Justice K. Rajasekar. The land in question, namely S.No.174/2A, a dry land measuring 7.22 acres situated at Punjai Edayar Melmugam Village, Paramathi Velur Taluk, Namakkal District, was acquired in the year 1984 by the Special Tahsildar, Adi Dravidar Welfare Officer, Namakkal, under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act. The acquisition appears to have been for the purpose of Adi Dravidar welfare. The writ petition W.P.No.3236 of 2019 culminated in the order under challenge, the details of which are not available in the provided excerpt. The appellants, a group of fifteen individuals, are represented by advocate N. Hariharannair, while the state respondents (Respondents 1 to 7) are represented by Special Government Pleader Mr. A. Selvendran, and the private respondents (Respondents 8 to 14) by Mr. P. Praveenkumar. The prayer in the appeal is to set aside the order of the Single Judge and allow the appeal. However, the final outcome, the specific grounds of challenge, the issues framed, and the reasoning of the court are not discernible from the truncated text. The judgment appears to have been interrupted, and no decision, ratio decidendi, or operative directions are available. Consequently, the procedural history indicates that the writ appeal is pending or has been adjudicated, but the result remains unknown from the provided text.
