ORDER

The present petition has been filed seeking a direction to the respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 11.10.2022 requesting to issue patta in favour of the petitioner in respect of the property comprised in Survey Nos.675, 676, 687, 691, 692, 698A & B ad 700 measuring to an extent of about 20 acres 97 cents situated at Ekkadu Village, Thiruvallur Taluk.

2. It is the case of the petitioner that initially the petitioner's father was in absolute possession of the subject property during his life time. After the demise of their parents, the petitioner is in possession of the property. While being so, some persons in the vicinity are attempting to grab the above said property. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation dated 11.10.2022 before the respondents requesting to transfer of patta in his favour in the patta pass book. However, till date, no action has been taken on the said representation. Hence, the present petition has been filed.

3. Though very many grounds have been raised, however, learned 2/4

counsel for the petitioners submitted that it would suffice if this Court issues a direction to the Respondent herein to consider the representation dated 11.10.2022 made by the petitioner seeking transfer of patta and pass appropriate orders on the same, within the time that may be stipulated by this Court.

4. On the above contentions, this Court heard the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondent.

5. In view of the limited relief sought for by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court without going into the merits of the case, directs the Respondent/Tahsildar to consider the representation dated 11.10.2022 made by the petitioner seeking transfer of patta and pass appropriate orders on the same in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner as well as to the aggrieved parties if any, within a period of Twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with the aforesaid 3/4

direction. No Costs.
