ORDER
Petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking for the issuance of a writ of mandamus to direct the first respondent to pass orders on the appeal memorandum dated 21.12.2012 on merits, by affording an opportunity to the private respondents. 2.Admittedly, a suit is pending in O.S. No. 217 of 2011 on the file of the District Munsif, Tambaram. The law is quite settled that a patta issued would be subject to the decree that can be passed by the competent jurisdictional civil Court. A patta issued cannot be a document of title. Therefore, the petitioners can very well approach the authorities concerned after the disposal of the suit, if a decree is passed in their favour. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
