as 'Natham' so as to regularise her occupation. However, without considering the same, the petitioner was served with an eviction notice. Therefore, the petitioner approached this Court by filing WP(MD) No. 17090/2025 and this Court by an order dated 24.06.2025 directed the District Collector to consider the petitioner's case if she is eligible for alternative site or accommodation. In the meantime, the petitioner has also submitted a representation to reclassify the subject land as Natham. However, it was not considered and her assessment of house tax was also cancelled. Since the petitioner has put up a house in a land, which is classified as Government poramboke, in order to disconnect the electricity service connection, the petitioner was served with a notice by the 4^th respondent by directing the petitioner to obtain no objection certificate from the 2^nd respondent, failing which, the electricity service connection would be disconnected. The said notice is challenged in this writ petition.

¶31

In view of the above, this Court finds no infirmity or illegality in the notice issued to the petitioner herein dated 26.03.2026. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as devoid of merits. No costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
