The petitioner herein seeks a direction to the respondent to dispose of his appeal dated 27.03.2024.

2. By consent of both the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as respondent, this writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage itself.

3. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the absolute owner of the property situated in S.No.5/2 with an extent of 2 acre 29 cents and S.No.210/4, with an extent of 14 cents, situated in Badathepalli Village, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri District. The petitioner filed an application before the Tahsildar, Hosur on 19.07.2022 and the same was dismissed.
