4. It is the case of the petitioner that inspite of his representation dated 23.11.2016 to the respondents to transfer the ownership of the premises from Smt.Pappammal to his name, the same has not yet been considered by the respondents. However, the petitioner has stated that he is the adopted son of late Smt.Pappammal and therefore, he is entitled to record his name as the allottee of the premises.
