3.It is seen that the 2nd and 4th petitioners took part in a tender conducted by the 1st petitioner on 25.04.2013, in order to take the land for lease in Survey No.205/1 to an extent of 2.80 acres and in Survey No.2.5/3 to an extent of 0.59.5 hectares, which belongs to the Koneripatti Arulmighu Bathrakalli Amman Temple. Previously, the said property was leased out to the respondent herein. After lapse of three years, fresh lease was conducted by the first respondent i.e., Hindu Religious Charitable Endowment Department, Sangari Town, Salem District and the petitioners 2 and 4 were the successful bidders and the above said property was leased out to them and they have also paid the requisite lease amount to the Hindu Religious Charitable Endowment Department. Even after getting the lease agreement, the respondent, who is the previous lease holder continued to enjoy possession of the said land. Therefore, the petitioners 2 & 4 approached H.R.&C.E. Department seeking an order to vacate the respondent from the land and handover the possession to the petitioners 2 and 4. Since no positive direction has come, the petitioners 2 and 4 filed W.P.No.29584 of 2014 seeking direction to the HR&CE Department to handover the possession of the said property to them. In that Writ Petition, this Court by an order dated 07.01.2015, directed the Assistant Commissioner, Hindu Religious Charitable Endowment Department and the 1st petitioner herein to take further steps to implement the order dated 19.05.2014 followed by communication dated 23.05.3024 and 27.06.2014 by initiating appropriate action in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible. In compliance to the order, the first petitioner along with police personnel have taken possession of the said property from the respondent herein and the same was witnessed by the Village Administrative Officer and the Assistant Commissioner, Hindu Religious Charitable Endowment Department, on 30.04.2014. Thereafter, on 17.03.2015, the impugned complaint was filed by the respondent alleging that the petitioners have trespassed into the property and had illegally taken possession from the respondent and handed over the possession to the petitioners 2 and 4 herein.
