O R D E R
This writ petition has been filed for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 08.03.2023 and to alter the FMB register in respect of property at Cuddalore District, Kurinjipadi Taluk, Ellappanpettai Village, in Old Survey No.724, New Survey No.357/13, to an extent of 928 Sq.ft with 4 feet common passage, on the basis of Sale deed dated 12.07.2006 of the petitioner.
2. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner is in continuous possession and enjoyment of the property situated in Old Survey No.724, New Survey No.357/13, to an extent of 928 Sq.ft with 4 feet common passage, whereas, in the FMB register, the extent of the property has wrongly mentioned. Therefore, in order to alter the FMB register, the petitioner has made a representation to the respondents herein on 08.03.2023. Since, the said representation has not been considered so far, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present writ petition with the aforesaid prayer. 2 / 5
