By consent of both parties, the present writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner purchased a land (Panchamiar land) on 31.01.2004 from one K.Radhakrishnan and patta was transferred in his name on 10.12.2013. From the
date of transferring the patta, the petitioner was in possession and enjoyment of the property. Thereafter, he approached the second respondent on 03.10.2016 seeking to survey the land by the third respondent and paid necessary charges. When the petitioner approached the third respondent to survey the land, he told him that one Thirupathy Balaji @ Venkatesan threatened him not to survey the land. Hence, the petitioner made a representation to the first respondent on 17.10.2016. But, the same is pending before the first respondent. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 17.10.2016.
3. Considering the pendency of the petitioner's representation dated 17.10.2016 and without going into the merits of the case, the first respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 17.10.2016 on merits and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, after giving notice and sufficient opportunity to all parties concerned.
4. With the above direction, the present Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
