O R D E R
By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal.
2.The petitioner would state that he was the owner of the land measuring 1.85.5 Hectares (4.50 acres) comprised in Survey No.45/4 of Koladasapuram village, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri District. He sold an extent of 0.42.5 Hectares (1.05acres) in S.No.45/4 to the fourth respondent herein by a registered sale
deed dated 30.01.1994 in Document No.2596 of 1994 at Sub Registrar Office, Hosur.
3.The petitioner would further state that the third respondent issued a patta in favour of the fourth respondent wrongly to an extent of 0.50.5 Hectares in Survey No.45/4D instead of 0.42.5 Hectares. Subsequently, the land was subdivided in survey Nos.45/4 as 45/4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. 4.The petitioner claims that the fifth respondent has no right or title over the survey No.45/4A. The patta No.379 issued in favour of the fourth respondent for an extent of 0.50.5 hectares instead of 0.42.5 hectares including the 5th respondent as one of the pattadar is an erroneous entry by the third respondent.
Hence, the petitioner has made a representation dated 30.11.2015 to the respondents 2 and 3 to rectify the mistakes crept in the revenue records. Since no order has been passed, the petitioner filed the present writ petition.
5.Heard the submissions of Mr.R.Bharath Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.V.Subbiah, Special Government Pleader who accepts notice on behalf of the respondents.
6.This Court, taking into consideration the limited scope of prayer sought for by the petitioner and without going into the merits of the same, directs the respondents 1 to 3 to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 30.11.2015 and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law, after giving due opportunity to the respondents 4 and 5, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the decision taken to the petitioner. 7.The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
