Section 10 TN Land Encroachment Act | Exhaustion of Appellate Remedy Mandatory Before Writ Petition; Commercial Use of Grama Natham Land Illegal : Madras HC

Madras High Court ruled that a writ petition challenging an eviction notice under Section 6 of the Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act is not maintainable without first exhausting the statutory appeal under Section 10. The court also held that commercial use of grama natham land is illegal, reinforcing the state's authority over such lands.
