ORDER : The petitioners involved in these batch of petitions seek patta for the plots that they have purchased, from the revenue authorities. 2. The short facts are that the property in relation to which, the petitioners seeks patta are comprised in S.Nos.284/1A, 373/2A, 373/2B, 374/2 and 375 of Nerkundram Village. They were notified for acquisition under Section 4(1) sometime in 1975 and an award too came to be passed on 10.01.1986. These facts are not disputed. Be that as it may, the predecessors-in-title of the petitioners, the land owners of these properties at that relevant time when the acquisition was notified, challenged the declaration issued under sec.6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, in W.P.Nos.8370 & 8371 of 1986, on the ground that the enquiry as contemplated under Sec. 5A of the Act had not taken place. These petitions came to be allowed by this Court on 21.08.1988. It appears that despite this order, no subsequent enquiry under Sec. 5A was ever held. In this background, the land owners had approached this Court to quash the very notification under Section 4(1) in W.P.No.18379 of 1991, and this came to be allowed by this Court on 01.07.1999. This has since become final. Subsequently, the land owners have developed the property into a layout and sold the plots to various persons including the petitioners. The petitioners have purchased the properties as per the details provided in the tabular column : W.P. No. Petitioner Plot No. & Extent Survey No. Details of Purchase/Ownership 12200/2020 1.

Release Deed dated 30.01.2013 Doc.No.571/2013 3. In this back drop when the petitioners approached the revenue authorities for transfer of patta, they were kept waiting by the authorities on the ground that those properties stand in the name of Tamil Nadu Housing Board [TNHB]. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit even though the copies of the Orders passed by this Court in W.P.Nos.8370 & 8371 of 1986, and W.P.No.18379 of 1991 was produced before the Tahsildar concerned, he required a No Objection Certificate from TNHB. 5. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board, the second respondent herein has filed its counter. In paragraph No.19 of its common counter dated 05.03.2021, filed in WP.Nos.12200, 12213, 12220, 12225, 12230, 12233 of 2020, it is contended that the notification dated 08.05.1975 initiated under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, has not been quashed and it is still in force, but there is no pointed reference or denial to the Order passed by this Court in W.P.No. 18379 of 1991 on 01.07.1999, (even though the same has been referred in paragraph No.5 of the affidavit filed in WP.Nos.12200, 12213, 12220, 12225, 12230, 12233 of 2020). However, in its counter affidavit filed in W.P.No.19933/2020, it admits to this very fact which it chose to deny in its counter affidavit in other cases. 6. Heard the learned Government Advocates for the first respondent and Mr.M.Baskar, learned counsel for the second respondent. 7. The fact remains that the notification under Section 4(1) has been quashed, and the Tamil Nadu Housing Board is only the beneficiary of the intended acquisition and not the acquisition authority, and only when the acquisition is successful and complete, the TNHB which is a requisition body will have the right to have its sty. And, today, at this distant date, it is not given to any of the authorities to impugn the validity of the Order in W.P.No. 18379 of 1991 collaterally in this proceedings. The circumstances are such that the Tahsildar is now required to abide by the Orders passed by this Court. 8. Article 261 of the Constitution envisages doctrine of full faith and credit, and this cannot be breached. The Tahsildar is now required to fix a date for enquiry within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 8. Article 261 of the Constitution envisages doctrine of full faith and credit, and this cannot be breached. The Tahsildar is now required to fix a date for enquiry within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. He may also give the right of audience to the Tamil Nadu Housing Board, though it is not required given the context, and it must be completed within a period of eight (8) weeks thereafter. 9. With the above directions, these writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
