O R D E R
The petitioner has challenged an order dated 28.07.2009 intimating him about the mutation of the municipal records in respect of property in survey NO.GRS 3/88, Madurantakam, and house thereupon bearing Door No.12 in the names of respondents 2 & 3.
2. No counter has been filed in this matter. However, the documents available on record would indicate that the petitioner was successful in O.S.No.14 of 1982. However, he was unsuccessful in executing the aforesaid decree and judgment since E.A.No.332 of 1998 came to be dismissed for default on 09.12.1998 as against which C.R.P.No.3445 of 1999 has been filed which was also dismissed on 27.01.2004.
3. As rightly contended, the impugned order which is adverse to him has been passed without an opportunity of hearing afforded to the petitioner. However, the impugned order does refer to an earlier order dated 04.02.2009, in terms of which the mutation was confirmed. This order has not been challenged by the petitioner.
4. Thus the petitioner is granted liberty to make a representation before the authorities assailing order dated 04.02.2009 within a period of four (4) weeks from today. If such representation is filed within the time as stipulated supra, the same will be decided by R1 after hearing the petitioner and the private respondents.
5. With this direction, this writ petition stands disposed. Consequently connected writ miscellaneous petition is closed. No Costs.
