2. Mr.N.GA.Nataraj, learned Government Advocate, who takes notice for the respondents 1 to 3, on instructions, submitted that the claim made by the petitioner is barred by res judicata , inasmuch as the petitioner has already approached this Court by filing a writ petition in W.P.(MD) No. 14031 of 2022 seeking direction to issue patta in respect of the said land and this Court, finding that the subject land is classified as a water body and already notice under Section 7 of the Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act, 1905 has been issued to the petitioner, by order dated 08.07.2022, dismissed the said writ petition and directed the authority concerned to consider the objections of the petitioner and then proceed further with the removal of encroachment.
