Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of Writ of Certiorari calling for the records pertaining to the impugned Notice bearing in Ka.No.Oo.Po/ViNi/Kira/Siva/Va.Aaa/Ko.Kattu/Aa.No.145 /2026, dated 06.05.2026 issued by the 5th Respondent and quash the same as illegal and unconstitutional.)

Common Order:

1. These two Writ Petitions are connected to each other and as such are taken up and disposed of by this common order.

2. The Writ Petitions challenge the impugned proceedings, dated 06.05.2026.

3. The learned Counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are only making handmade bricks and there is no any violation, that is committed by them. While so, without furnishing any inspection report and without even giving a copy of the proceedings dated 11.02.2026, now the connection is sought to be disconnected and therefore, the petitioners are before this Court. The learned Counsel would submit that the entire exercise is done without affording proper opportunity to the petitioners.

4. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the TANGEDCO would submit that the impugned orders are nothing, but show cause notices. The disconnection is now sought to be made pursuant to the directions of the revenue officials, when they have inspected the site and found that unauthorized brick kiln activities are going on and that the TANGEDO has no other option than to obey the said order.

5. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the first respondent would submit that in order to carry on brick kiln activity, the petitioners should obtain permission from the authorities and without any permission to establish the same, the brick kiln activities are going on and in view thereof, the matter is now pending before the National Green Tribunal and upon the direction, the inspection is made by the Tahsildar.

6. In reply thereof, the learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that as a matter of fact, the petitioners have filed applications and the Assistant Director of Mining have sought for reports from the other authorities for grant of permission.

7. I have considered the rival submissions made on either side and perused the material records of the case.

8. Firstly, the impugned order is only a show cause notice. It will be open for the petitioners to submit the explanation. The only grievance of the petitioners is that the proceedings dated 11.02.2026 is not supplied to them. Now, the same is supplied in the open Court. Therefore, the petitioners can submit the reply, which will be considered. It can be seen that the entire exercise is done pursuant to the orders of the National Green Tribunal. Against any adverse orders passed, the petitioners have to approach the very same National Green Tribunal for further reliefs.

9. With the above observations and giving liberty to the petitioners to submit the objections within one week from today, the Writ Petitions stand disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
