It is the case of the petitioner that she is entitled to 1/3rd share in the land situated in S.F.Nos.41/1 and 41/2 in Oduvampalayam Village, Kuppandapalayam Post, Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal District. The petitioner acquired right over 1/3rd share in the above mentioned land under a Settlement Deed dated 21.01.2016. Later, it came to the knowledge of the petitioner that the above mentioned land has been sub-divided without notice to her.

The same has not been considered by the 1st respondent till date. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court.
