O R D E R
The petitioner herein seeks a direction to the respondents herein to reclassify the land in Moornapalli Village Survey No.915 from the Kallangkuthu (Stone Poramboku) and carry out necessary correction in the UDR and issue patta to the petitioner and other legal heirs of (Late) Moolagaran @ Eallukundan in land Survey No.915, Moornapalli Village, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri District by considering petitioner's representation dated 26.02.2024.
2. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner's father namely Moolagaran @ Eallukundan was in possession and enjoyment of the land to an extent of 8.8 acres situated in Survey No.915, Moornapalli Village, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri District. The said property was assigned to petitioner's father under D-card patta in the year 1972. Thereafter, the petitioner's father submitted a petition before the 3rd respondent to issue regular patta and after verifying all the documents and VAO enquiry reports, the 3rd 2/5
respondent passed the order dated 19.09.1996 recommending to issue patta in favour of the petitioner's father. Pursuant to the said order, the respondents have not issued patta till date and the said land has been wrongly registered as Kallanguthu in UDR. Therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 26.02.2024 seeking reclassification of the land from Kallanguthu and issue patta in the name of the petitioner and other legal heirs of Moolagaran @ Eallukundan. Since the said representation of the petitioner has not been considered by the respondents, the petitioner is before this Court.
3. Learned Additional Government Pleader, who is taking notice for the respondents would submit that the representation of the petitioner dated 26.02.2024 will be considered by the respondents on its own merits and in accordance with law, within the time fixed by this Court.
4. In view of the same, without going into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to direct the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 26.02.2024 and pass final orders on its own merits and in accordance with law, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 3/5
5. With the above direction, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs.
