According to the petitioners, the patta which was earlier standing in the name of their grandmother Palaniammal for the subject property has been cancelled illegally, and therefore, the same has to be restored back once again in favour of their grandmother Palaniammal. The petitioners had given a representation on 16.09.2025 to the respondents with supporting documents. Since the said representation has not been considered till date, the petitioners have filed this writ petition.

3. Mr.D.Ravichander, learned Special Government Pleader, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents.
