2. According to the petitioner, the patta and A-Register prior to UDR updation stood in the name petitioner's father Munusamy and during UDR updation, the 5th respondent's name was wrongly included in the revenue records.

The said representation has not been considered by the 2nd respondent till date. Therefore, she is before this Court.
