For Respondent(s):
ORDER
Challenging the impugned order passed by the trial Judge in I.A. No. 8 of
2025 in OS No.799 of 2022 on the file of V Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai,
the second defendant has preferred this Civil Revision Petition.
2. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner submitted that the
petitioner has filed an application before the trial Court seeki ng rejection of the
plaint. He also contended that the suit property still belongs to the Slum
Clearance Board and that no sale deed was executed in favour of Mrs. Arokya
Mary or her legal heirs. He further contended that the suit is barr ed under
Sections 65, 29(1)(a) & (b) and 67 of the Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement
and Clearance) Act and that the Civil Court lacks jurisdiction.
3. The trial Court, upon considering the records, found that Arokya Mary
had paid the entire dues to the Board and obtained a No Objecti on Certificate
from the TNSCB for obtaining Water, Sewerage and Electricity connection and
for construction of building and utility connections. She constructed the house

and was allotted the property as early as in 1989. Hence, she became the
absolute owner of the property.
4. The present suit is one for permanent injunction, and therefore, the
grounds raised for rejection of the plaint are not sustainable. The order of the
trial Court requires no interference.
5. However, liberty is granted to the parties to implead the Slum
Clearance Board as a party, if necessary. Both parties are directed to proceed
with the trial. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismi ssed.
Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
