2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 and 5 and the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents 4 and 6 and perused the materials available on record.
3. It is the case of the writ petitioner that he is the owner of the property situated at Manapattur Village, Sendurai Taluk, Ariyalur District and he was issued with a patta bearing No.4252. During 2015 - 2016, the respondents have laid a road by deviating the original existing road on the patta land comprised in Survey No.342/1 and also put up a culvert block and thereby causing obstruction of about 5 feet wide from out of 12 feet wide passage leading to petitioner's property under the scheme, namely TNRRIS/15-16. That apart, the respondents have made a block covering the width of the passage leading to petitioner's property which led the petitioner to send a series of representation to the District Collector and other officers concerned. As there was no action on
the part of the respondents, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.
