The grievance of the petitioner is that he made an application before the first respondent to survey and issue sub-divisional patta for his property in Survey No.116/5A, situated at Alapuram Village, Pappireddipatty Taluk, Dharmapuri District and also paid necessary charges for the same. However, the same has not been considered by the first respondent. Hence, the present Writ Petition. 5.
