Therefore, the petitioner once again seeking to quash the same proceedings is uncalled for. With this cause of action, the petitioner is seeking to restrain the respondents not to interfere with the possession and the said relief has been claimed only with a mere apprehension, without any material to sustain the same. The authorities are in the process of following the procedure as was directed in the earlier order passed by this Court. Hence, no further orders are required to be passed in this writ petition. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 26473 of 20258.This writ petition is disposed of in the above terms. No costs.
