The present Writ Petition has been filed seeking the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 14.05.2026.

2. The case of the petitioner is that she was assigned agricultural lands measuring 0.38.0 Ares in S.No.81/2 and 0.22.0 Ares in S.No.84/2 at Manikkal Village, Chengam Taluk, Tiruvannamalai District under the Tamil Nadu Government's land assignment scheme for landless persons in September 2015. A patta was issued in her favour pursuant to Assignment Order No.DK/15/F/1425. Thereafter, despite submitting several representations, including one dated 10.11.2025 seeking issuance of Chitta and incorporation of her name in the A-Register, and despite the District Collector's direction dated

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made on either side, this Court, without going into the merits of the matter, directs the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 14.05.2026.
