No.286 of 2015 has been filed for declaration of title before the District Munsif Court, Dindivanam, the request of the petitioner cannot be granted. 3.Since the Tahsildar, Dindivanam has addressed a letter to the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents stating that the said Original Suit was pending, the respondents cannot consider the request of the petitioner for transfer of patta. Therefore, this Court is unable to entertain the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs.
