2. The learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondents takes notice on behalf of the official respondents. In view of the limited relief sought for in this petition and on the consent expressed by the Learned counsel appearing for either side, this petition is taken up for final disposal.
3. The case of the petitioner is that, she purchased the property comprised in Old.S.No.91/2B2; New S.No.91/2B2C, situated at Thirukottaram Village, Nannilam Taluk, Thiruvarur District. Thereafter, the petitioner made a representation dated 18.02.2022 before the respondents herein, seeking for sub division and transfer of patta to her name, in respect of the above said property. However, till date no orders have been passed on the said representation. Hence, the present Writ petition has been filed with the above said prayer.

Though very many grounds have been raised, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that, it would suffice if this Court issues direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 18.02.2022 and consequently direct the respondents to take necessary action to sub divide the said property and transfer the patta in the name of the petitioner.
5. Learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondents has no serious objection for the said order being passed and he fairly conceded that, the petitioner's representation dated 18.02.2022 will be considered by the 3rd respondent and appropriate orders will be passed in accordance with law within the time stipulated by this Court.
6. In view of the above submissions, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, directs the 3rd respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 18.02.2022 on merits and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as the aggrieved parties, if any.
