The petitioners have stated that they had purchased the property in question, under three registered sale deeds, dated 11.11.1969, 05.08.1983 and 20.11.2000.  Since the date of purchase, the petitioners have been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the property in question.  However, on 17.12.2005, the officers of the third respondent office had come to the petitioners&#8217; premises to demolish the compound wall stating that it was an encroachment on a public land.  No prior notice had been issued to the petitioners, under the provisions of Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act.  In such circumstances, the petitioners have come before this Court with the present Writ Petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t3. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the 3rd respondent stating that the petitioners have erected a compound wall     on the street, which is highly objectionable and it is a hindrance to the public.
