AI extract
What is this about?
The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court dismissed the writ petition seeking quashing of eviction proceedings under the Land Encroachment Act, 1905. The Court held that since a revisionary jurisdiction lies pending with the Land Commissioner under Section 10A, the writ court cannot entertain the challenge to the subsequent notice issued under Section 6.
What did the court decide?
Writ petition dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to move the Land Commissioner seeking stay of execution of the impugned order.
