...Respondents
PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India, seeking Writ of Mandamus, directing the first respondent to pass an order on the basis of the petitioner's representation dated 24.10.2016 for grant of patta to the property in his name and pass orders.
For Petitioner : Mr.N.Kumar Rajan For respondents : Mr.E.Balamurugan, Special Government Pleader.
O R D E R
This writ petition has been filed for the issuance of writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents to dispose of the representation made by the petitioner on 24.10.2016. 2.In the entire affidavit filed by the petitioner in support of the writ petition, there is not even a mention as to which survey number the petitioner is seeking for patta. Curiously, the affidavit is silent about this material fact. It is seen from the representation that the petitioner is seeking for patta for Survey No.127/1.
3.Mr.E.Balamurugan, the learned Special Government Pleader, appearing on behalf of the respondents submitted that the survey number for which the petitioner is seeking for a patta has been classified as water body and the petitioner is already owning a land in his name and therefore the petitioner is not entitled for patta.
4.This Court does not find any merits in the present petition. This petition has to be rejected on the simple ground that it does not even state for which survey number the petitioner is seeking for issuance of patta. In any case, there is no question of issuance of patta for a water body. 5.Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
