casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed Tamil Nadu's special leave petitions against a 2019 Madras High Court order that vacated a status quo on land encroachment disputes in Thazhambur Village. While acknowledging the State's right to investigate alleged illegal land transactions, the Court protected third-party interests of innocent flat and villa buyers who purchased land in good faith after decades-old pattas were issued, holding that the State cannot turn back the clock to undo transactions from long ago. The Court vacated the interim status quo order and directed the State to provide basic amenities to occupants while considering legitimate third-party rights in its final decision.
