This writ petition has been filed for a direction to the respondents to grant assignment patta in favour of the writ petitioner in accordance with law to the allotment and consequential payment under the existing Rules within a timeframe.

2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents and perused the entire materials available on record.

3. It is the case of the petitioner that he was allotted 88 cents of punja lands earmarked in Survey No.304 at Kallapuram Village, Udumalaipettai Page 2/5

Taluk. At the time of allotment, instead of mentioning petitioner's name S.S.Gandhi s/o.Shanmugasundaram, the Assistant Commissioner (Land Reform) had wrongly noted as S.S.Shanthi w/o.Shanmuga Sundaram. In this regard he has made several representations and nothing was heard from the respondents. Hence this writ petition.

4. Considering the limited relief sought for in this writ petition, the fifth respondent is directed to consider the grievance of the petitioner for grant of assignment patta, in accordance with law on the allotment and consequential payment under the existing Rules, by giving him an opportunity of being heard, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
