O R D E R

(The case has been heard through video conference) The grievance of the petitioner is that he is the owner of the land bearing Survey No.392/28, measuring about 10 sq.ft., situated at Ranjankudi Village, Veppanthattai Taluk, Perambalur district but patta was wrongly granted in favour of the 5th respondent herein.

Therefore, the petitioner made a representation on 20.03.2021, to the respondents 1 to 4, to rectify the said mistake, but so far no orders have been passed, hence he filed the present writ petition.

2. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents 1 to 4 submitted that the second respondent will consider the said representation of the petitioner and will pass suitable orders on merit.

3. Considering the limited prayer sought for by the petitioner, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court directs the second respondent Tashildar to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 20.03.2021 and pass suitable orders on merits and in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner and the 5th respondent herein, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
