ORDER

This Writ Petition is filed seeking to issue a Writ of Certiorari, calling for the records relating to the order passed by the first respondent in her proceedings vide Na.Ka.No.Aa2/1923/2017, dated 23.01.2018 signed on 13.03.2018 and quash the same.

2. Heard Mr.R.Arun Dattan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.T.Arun Kumar, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the Respondents 1 to 3 and Mr.C.Munusamy, learned counsel appearing for R4.

3. Earlier this Court on 14.03.2024, had directed the first respondent to produce the original "A" Register / Settlement Register / Inam Register and Settlement Land Register (SLR), Re-Survey Settlement Register 2/6

(RSLR) and Revenue Records prior to and subsequent to the Updating Registry Scheme (UDR) in respect of the subject properties and the same were produced today.

4. On a perusal of 'A' Register shows the petition mentioned portion in survey No.142/20 is not shown as a common pathway or road. During UDR scheme, it was shown as Road and the petitioner has also got access through the same. Thereafter the said error was rectified by reclassification and now it clearly shows that it is not a pathway and the same belongs to the 4th Respondent. Further it shows that it is a Natham land which cannot be classified as a road. After conducting proper enquiry and field inspection only, the 1st respondent has passed the impugned order. Hence the petitioner is not entitled to the relief sought for in this Writ petition. 3/6

5. In view of the above, this Writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
