    Case Summary: WP(MD) /14286/2026 The Madras High Court dismissed Murugesan's writ petition challenging an order dated 24.12.2024 passed by the Tahsildar under Section 6 of the Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act, 1905. The court held that the petitioner had an efficacious alternative remedy—filing an appeal before the District Collector—and therefore declined to exercise writ jurisdiction. The court disposed of the petition with liberty for the petitioner to pursue the appeal while seeking condonation of delay, as the order was served only in February 2026.
