In fact, this facility has been provided more fully for the people residing in the nearby areas identically Karpaga Nagar and Vattavatti. 11. It comes to be known that one V.Kumaresan filed a Public Interest Litigation before this Court in W.P(MD) No.1771 of 2017 seeking for the relief of issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the Respondents to remove the encroachment in the Nainarkulam, Chinna Vengayyan Kulam, Dairy Farm to Malaiyeedu, Pudukkottai to Machuvadi Road, Thiruvappur to Mettupatti Road by taking necessary action based on the Petitioners' representation, dated 13.1.2017. This Court, on 2.2.2017, had disposed of the Writ Petition by issuing a direction to the official respondents, more particularly, the District Collector, Pudukkottai District, the Second Respondent/Municipality, Highways Department, National Highways Authority to strictly remove the encroachments. Thereafter the Second Respondent/Municipality had commenced action for removal of encroachments in the lands which are under its control. In the above Writ Petition, a Contempt Petition No.694 of 2017 was filed for fulfilment of the removal of encroachments. Thereafter, all the encroachments which were yet to be removed have also been removed and finally the above Contempt Petition was closed by this Court. 12. One Purachivel had filed W.P.No.12617/2017 in respect of removal of Karuppar Temple and Community Hall existing in T.S.No.8543/3 and T.S.No.8548/6. Insofar as the land in T.S. No. 8548/3 is concerned, the same is a road margin. 12. One Purachivel had filed W.P.No.12617/2017 in respect of removal of Karuppar Temple and Community Hall existing in T.S.No.8543/3 and T.S.No.8548/6. Insofar as the land in T.S. No. 8548/3 is concerned, the same is a road margin. Finally, the said Writ Petition was disposed of by this Court based on the affidavit filed by the Second Respondent/Municipality, wherein, it was stated that the Community Hall was put up under Swarna Jayanthi Sahahari Rozgar Yojana Scheme and the toilet was constructed under Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana and the question of demolishing such constructions put up by using public funds cannot arise. 13. As regards the present Writ Petitioners are concerned, they have not at all mentioned the actual facts in the affidavit filed in support of the above Writ Petition etc because of the reason that the said land occupied by them belonged to the Second Respondent/Municipality, which is on the road side. In fact, 14 persons including these Writ Petitioners had to evict from the encroached land during execution of orders passed by this Court in the month of June 2017 and all the encroachments were thatched houses and there is only one roofed house. 14. Thereafter, the Writ Petitioners have approached the First Respondent/The District Collector, Pudukkottai District praying for an alternative accomodation through their petition, dated 19.6.2017 which was forwarded to the Second Respondent/Municipality for necessary action and the Second Respondent/Municipality after considering the same had recommended the above said persons to the Executive Officer, Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, Trichy vide proceedings, dated 20.6.2017 in Na.Ka.No.F3/1302/2017 for allotment of houses to them in accordance with Law. After the grant of an order of statusquo by this Court in W.P.(MD) No.17869 of 2017, the Petitioners have simply erected the thatched house in the same place, but they are not residing in the said place. 15. It transpires that the Executive Officer, Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, has replied to the Second Respondent/Municipality through communication, dated 3.11.2017 stating that necessary action to provide houses to the persons who were recommended by the Second Respondent/Municipality including the Writ Petitioners is under active consideration and they would be given accommodation under the Narimedu Scheme and as per payment of contribution by the beneficiaries(Writ Petitioners) and in accordance with Law. 16. 16. In view of the above, the Learned Counsel for the Second Respondent/Municipality takes a plea that the Writ Petitioners are not entitled for any relief as claimed by them in T.S.No.8548, Malayappa Nagar, Malayeedu, Thirumayam Road, Pudukkottai District. 17. Be that as it may, on perusal of the letter/communication of the Administrative Engineer of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, Tiruchirappalli Division, Madurai Road, Palakkarai, Tiruchirappalli-8 addressed to the Commissioner, Pudukkottai Municipality, Pudukkottai, dated 3.11.2017 indicates that the beneficiaries are required to pay a sum of Rs.78,500/- to the Board and this amount would have to be paid by them within one year before construction of tenements and the said payment can be made in installments. Furthermore, if the condition imposed by the Slum Clearance Board in regard to the payment of installments as afore-stated is accepted, then the 15 encroachers/residents at Narimedu Scheme Area would be given house allotment through the Board. 18. In view of the fact that the Administrative Engineer of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board had addressed a communication dated 3.11.2017 to the Commissioner, Pudukkottai Municipality, wherein, the beneficiaries were required to pay their contribution in installments before the construction of tenements, this Court is of the considered view that one year time is granted to the beneficiaries for the contribution amount to be paid by them as afore-stated including the Petitioners and as such, this Court is of the considered opinion that the Petitioners shall avail of such benefits and to take advantage of the same to the maximum extent possible, if they so desires/advised. 19. In view of the above and recording the contents of the letter of the Administrative Engineer, Slum Clearance Board, Tiruchirappalli Division, addressed to the Commissioner, Pudukkottai Municipality, this Court closes the Writ Petition, as nothing survives for any further adjudication. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
