Another Association in the name of M/s Nurses Club of Madras was registered under Serial No.12 of 1925-26, dated 17.03.1926, for the welfare of the nurses, which was similar to the petitioner Association. 3. On 27.4.1927 a Deed of Trust was executed by her Excellency the Viscountees Goschebn, (wife of George Goschen, who served as the Governor of Madras from 1924 to 1929) by appointing Official trustee of Madras as the Trustee, by paying Rs.70,000/- to the Official Trustee as trust fund, who had to invest the Trust Fund and pay the annual income of the Trust Fund to M/s Nurses Club of Madras for its general purpose and use.

Thereafter, the Official Trustee, as the Trustee of Nurses Association, has purchased 1 Cawnie and 350 sq.ft land (24.22 ground + 350 sq.ft) by Sale Deed dated 25.07.1934, registered as Document No.2044 of1934, on the file of SRO, West Madras.

From the date of purchase, the Nurses Association has been functioning at the said property, in which there exists an old building and dormitory. The said building and the dormitory were used for the use of retired nurses, working nurses and trainee nurses in various Government and private hospitals and a portion of the building was being used for conducting free tuition classes for downtrodden children. The association is not using any of the premises for profit. Abetting the compound wall, there is a tea shop rented out by the petitioner association to the watchman and the monthly rent derived from the tea shop was collected for the purpose of building maintenance. 5. While so, all of a sudden, on 02.05.2024, at about 5.30p.m, the Deputy Administrator General and Official Trustee and two other officials of office of the Respondent came to the premises and ordered the inmates to come out of the premises and sealed the premises, without giving any reason or without any prior intimation or giving any opportunity of hearing. Aggrieved upon the same, an application in A.No.2613 of 2024 was filed by the petitioner Association before this Court for removal of lock and seal and this court by order dated 23.05.2024 ordered for the removal of the lock and seal and also ordered to remove the goods lying inside the premises and posted the matter for further proceedings on 07.06.2024. 6. When the matter came up on 28.06.2024, the applicant sought permission to withdraw the application with liberty to file a fresh application at appropriate time and endorsement was also made to that effect. Accordingly, A.No.2613 of 2024 was withdrawn with liberty. 6.
