O R D E R

Mr.S.Soundararajan, learned Government Advocate takes notice for the respondents 1 and 2. Since this writ petition is being disposed of, without affecting the interest of the third respondent, notice to the said respondent is dispensed with.

2. The petitioner seeks for mandamus directing the first respondent to pass orders on the appeal filed by the petitioner on 11.08.2017, challenging the order of the Tahsildar, Pappireddipatty, Dharmapuri District dated 07.08.2017, arising https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

out of the Patta proceedings.

3. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said appeal is still pending and not yet disposed of. This Court, at this stage, is not expressing any view on the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, as it is for the first respondent to consider and decide the same. Thus, this writ petition is disposed of, only with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner on 11.08.2017, after hearing the petitioner as well as the third respondent and other interested parties, if any, if the said appeal is not yet disposed of. Such exercise shall be done by the first respondent within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
