This Writ Petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents to enquire into the representation given by the petitioner and consequently direct the respondents to issue her patta.

According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner has submitted a representation on 14.06.2012, seeking sub-division of patta comprised in Survey No.278/1A1 situated at Pazhanthandalam Village, Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram District. The first respondent, vide its letter No.12346/2012, has rejected the request of the petitioner stating that there is a difference between sketch plan and land document. Hence, the petitioner made another representation on 25.03.2014 along with necessary documents to the respondents for issuance of patta. Thereafter, an enquiry was conducted by the Revenue Inspector https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
