The High Court of Madras dismissed the writ appeal filed by V. Thiraviam challenging the earlier dismissal of his petition seeking an NOC for dry lands. The Court rejected the request to challenge a specific Government Order, holding it too late given the possession status and prior litigation.
The writ appeal is dismissed; the C.M.P. is closed; no order as to costs.

2 issues framed by the court
Whether the writ appeal against the dismissal of the original writ petition seeking directions to issue a No Objection Certificate is maintainable.
