The petitioner, after the said purchase, applied for patta and though Patta No.256 dated 13.05.2010 was issued in her favour, it did not contain the name of the petitioner. Therefore, again she submitted a representation/application dated 13.10.2015 for transfer of patta in her favour to the 4th respondent as well as to the jurisdictional Village Administrative Officer. The petitioner has also submitted several reminders praying for transfer of patta. The 3rd respondent vide notice dated 11.12.2015 directed the petitioner to appear for enquiry on 29.12.2015 and that she appeared and vide proceedings dated 16.12.2015, the 2nd respondent has also directed the 4th respondent to take necessary action with regard to the application submitted by the petitioner for transfer of patta and since no orders have been passed, she came forward to file the present writ petition.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.R.Govindasamy, learned Special Government Pleader who accepts notice on behalf of the respondents.
