(Delivered by the Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.M.SUBRAMANIAM)
Mr.Vishnu Mohan, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner would rely upon the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court dated 08.03.2024 in W.A.No.666 of 2015, wherein, the Division Bench held that the procedure contemplated under the Revenue Standing Order No.24A is to be followed.

2. In the case on hand, the aforesaid Revenue Standing Order would not be applicable, since the lease expired and not renewed and the petitioner continue to be in possession without paying the arrears of rent. Thus, the petitioner is an unauthorized occupant for all purposes and the Government is entitled to initiate action to resume the Government land by following due process. 

3. In view of the orders passed in the writ appeal and the writ petition, the present contempt petition stands closed.
