The petitioner seeks for cancellation of Patta Nos.769, 995 and 1029. The petitioner had given a representation on 09.09.2025 to the second respondent for the aforesaid purpose.

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

5. For the foregoing reasons, this Court directs the second respondent to pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law on the petitioner's representation dated 09.09.2025 seeking for cancellation of Patta Nos.769, 995 and 1029 standing in the names of the respondents 4 to 7 for the properties more fully disclosed in the affidavit filed in support of this writ petition after giving due consideration to the supporting documents produced by the petitioner and after hearing the respondents 4 to 7 and any other third party whom the second respondent deems fit to enquire within a period of twelve (12) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
