Justice G Jayachandran said the chairman of Chettinad Group Muthiah had tried illegal means to take possession of the property from Palaniappan, who was residing there, and moved the court against the August 24 order of the RDO.
The order had directed Muthiah to handover possession of the property to the Manager who had been in physical possession of the property until May 28, 2017 and to the Rani Meyammai Chettinad Trust.
Both the parties hadcomplained of criminal intimidation and trespass against each other and the police had submitted a report tothe RDO expressing concern over breach of peace in the wake of the rivalry.
Following this, theRDO had intervened and passed the order directing Muthiah to hand over the property to Palaniappan.
Hearing the petition against the order, the judge said Muthiah had not resorted to legal means to prove his claim over the property in question.
