O R D E R

The petitioner herein seeks a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to correct the extent of the property mentioned in revenue documents viz., Patta and Chitta in respect of S.No.35/5B situated at Karuvepilankurichi Village, Virudhachalam Taluk, Cuddalore District by considering his application dated 04.08.2022.

2. According to the petitioner, he purchased 14.25 cents in S.No.35/5B situated at Karuvepilankurichi Village. However, in the revenue document, the extent of the property had been wrongly mentioned as 13.25 cents instead of 14.25 cents. Therefore, he made a representation to the respondents on 04.08.2022 and the same has not been considered till date. Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court. 2/4

3. It is seen from the proceedings of the 1st respondent dated 19.07.2023 enclosed in the typed-set of papers, he sought for a report from the 2nd respondent regarding the request made by the petitioner and thereafter, there was no further progress in the matter.

4. In view of the limited prayer made by the petitioner in this writ petition, without going into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to direct the 1st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 04.08.2022 and pass final orders, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5. With the above direction, the Writ Petition stands disposed. No costs.
