ORDER

The petitioner has filed this petition seeking a direction to the respondents to consider petitioner's representation dated 27.12.2021 sent for computerizing the Patta for the following properties, situated at No.68 Attur B-Block Village,

2. Mr.T.Chezhiyan, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents. In view of the limited relief sought for in this petition and on the consent expressed by the Learned counsel appearing on either side, this petition is taken up for final disposal.

3. The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the owner of the property comprised in Punja Survey No.835/B1 to an extent of 0.06 cents and Natham Survey No.835/B2 to an extent of 651 sq.ft situated at No.68 Attur B-Block Village, Chengalpattu Taluk & District. Even after the purchase the computerized Patta stands in the name of the original owner, for which the petitioner made a representation on 27.12.2021 to computerize the Patta and transfer the Patta in his name. However, till date no action has been taken by the respondents on the representation made by the petitioner. Hence the present Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner with the above relief.

4. Though very many grounds have been raised, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it would suffice if this Court directs the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 27.12.2021 within the time frame that may be fixed by this Court.

5. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents submits that the petitioner's application dated 27.12.2021 will be considered by the respondents within the time frame that may be fixed by this Court.
