competent authority. In this regard, an Original Suit in O.S. No.4848 of 2020 has been filed for a direction to the petitioner's vendor to execute necessary rectification deed by rectifying the defects in the said sale deed and the same is pending before the learned II Assistant Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai. In the meantime, the builder had proceeded with the construction work, as the building materials were already procured and labourers were also allotted work on contract basis by making advance payments. While so, the second respondent issued a lock and seal and demolition notice dated 30.10.2019 alleging un-authorised construction, calling upon the petitioner to restore the land to its condition before the construction took place, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the above notice, failing which, further action will be taken under the provisions of Section 57(4) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act to seal the building. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the petitioner, realising the mistake committed by him, has come forward to rectify the defects pointed out by the respondents. Therefore, if the petitioner is given three months' time to rectify the defects, no prejudice would be caused to anyone.
