Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner.

dated 06.07.1990 were not returned to the petitioner and hence the petitioner made representation dated 04.06.2025 to the respondents seeking to return the original title documents for property comprised in Survey Nos.68/2A, 68/5 and 69/2 situated at Pagasalai Village, Thiruthani Taluk, Tiruvallur District, however, there is no response.
