3. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the guideline value of the subject property has sufficiently increased and according to the petitioner, the ongoing rate is Rs.3,00,000/- per acre, the guideline value that has been reflected in the official website of the Registration Department is Rs.1,250/- per sq.ft. Hence, the petitioner made a representation dated 10.07.2024 to the second respondent requesting the second respondent to fix the guideline value for the lands in Survey No.753/1 of Kayar Village, Chengalpet Taluk. On receipt of the same, the second respondent informed the petitioner through his communication dated 15.07.2024, that a direction had been given to the third respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 10.07.2024. Since there was no progress thereafter, the present writ petition is filed before this Court seeking for appropriate directions.
4. In the considered view of this Court, the fixation of guideline value has to be done by the Valuation Committee and the law on this issue was discussed in detail by this Court in Anita Thomas & Others Vs Inspector General of Registration reported in 2024 5 CTC 76. 3/6
5. In view of the above, there shall be a direction to the third respondent to place the request made by the petitioner before the Committee constituted under the Rule and necessary proceedings shall be issued by the Committee within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs. 20.03.2025 Index : Yes/No Speaking Order/Non-Speaking Order ds 4/6
