The case of the petitioner is that the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board allotted the subject property in favour of his grand parents. After their demise, the same was in possession and enjoyment of his mother and uncle. They entered into a lease cum sale agreement dated 10.06.1997 with the Slum clearance board and they were paying the monthly instalments regularly. Thereafter, the mother of the petitioner and his uncle divided the property equally and the uncle constructed a house and the petitioner's father and mother continued to live in the old house. After their demise, the petitioner submitted a representation to the respondent on 13.05.2025 seeking for permission to pay the balance amount and to get the sale deed executed in his favour. Since the same was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court. 4.
