This writ petition has been filed for the issue of writ of Mandamus directing the 2nd respondent to act upon the representation made by the petitioner on 13.04.2023, wherein the petitioner has sought for the issuance of the patta in her favour. 2.

Heard Mr.L.Ramu, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.N.Naveen Kumar, learned Government Advocate for respondents.

3.

It is seen from records that the petitioner had filed a suit in O.S.No.31 of 2019 seeking for the relief of declaration of title and the suit was decreed by judgement and decree dated 16.10.2019 by the Principal District Munsif Court, Thitakudi. Pursuant to the same, the petitioner also made an application for issuance of patta before the 2nd respondent. Since no action was taken, the petitioner made a representation dated 13.04.2022 and the same did not evoke any response, left with no other option, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court.
