ORDER
This writ petition has been filed seeking for a direction to the official respondents to include the names of the petitioners in Patta No.435 in respect of the properties more fully disclosed in the prayer to this writ petition. 2.
According to the petitioners, they are the legal heirs of late Mr.Ponnuswamy Naickar. The grievance of the petitioners is that their brothers have illegally obtained the patta by suppressing the names of the petitioners. The petitioners had submitted a representation to the respondents on 08.12.2025 seeking to include their names in the patta. Since the same has not been considered, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court.

5.
This Court is not expressing any opinion on the merits of the petitioner's representation dated 08.12.2025. 6.
