ORDER
This writ petition has been filed for direction directing the fourth respondent to dispose the petition's representation dated 28.09.2018, seeking issuance of patta for the property comprised in Survey No.28/1D to an extent of 8 cents situated at Tirukkalukundram Village, Chengalpattu District.
2.
Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials placed before this Court. 3.
The learned counsel appearing for the respondents 5, 7 to 7 submitted that in respect of the very same property, the petitioner had already been filed a suit for declaration in O.S.No.177 of 2018 on the file of the learned Principal Sub Judge, Chengalpet and the same was dismissed by the judgment and decree dated 29.07.2025. 4.
Considering the above submissions, if at all the petitioner succeeded in the civil proceedings, she can very well submit the application for issuance of patta. Therefore, the prayer sought for in this Writ Petition cannot be granted and the Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed.
5.
Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
