By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal.
2. The petitioner claims that she is the wife of late Kabali, who was the owner of the property bearing Door No.102/140, Masthan Gori Street, Adambakkam, Chennai 600 088 , comprised in S.No.190/6 (part) and 190/3 (part) , Survey field No.120, Block NO.G-15, measuring an extent of about 1872 square feet and her husband was in possession and enjoyment of the same.

After the demise of her husband, she applied for patta on 18.09.2006 and there was no response. Subsequently, she and her daughter filed a civil suit in O.S.No.1003 of 2012 before the learned Principal District Munsif, Alandur, seeking to declare herself and her daughter as the legal heirs of the deceased Kabali and for mandatory injunction directing the defendants to issue patta in favour of the plaintiffs pertaining to the property in question. The said suit was ultimately decreed in their favour on 08.04.2013.
Subsequently, the petitioner again sent a representation on 20.02.2015 and reminders on 05.03.2015 and 18.04.2015. Since she has not been favoured with any response, she has come forward with this writ petition.
