This writ petition has been filed, seeking for a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 21.04.2025, seeking for issuance of joint patta for the property morefully described in the

prayer to this writ petition within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.

2. The petitioner contends that erroneously patta has been issued for the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition in the name of the fourth respondent alone. Therefore, the petitioner had given a representation on 21.04.2025, seeking for cancellation of patta standing in the name of the fourth respondent and for issuance of joint patta which includes the name of the petitioner as well. Since the said representation has not been considered till date, this writ petition has been filed.

3. Mr. R.P.Murugan Raja, learned Government Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3. Since no adverse orders are passed against the fourth respondent, notice to the fourth respondent is dispensed with by this Court.

4. No prejudice would be caused to the respondents if the petitioner's representation dated 21.04.2025 is considered on merits and in accordance with law after hearing the objections of the fourth respondent as well as any other third party whom the third respondent deems it fit to enquire within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.

5. This Court is not expressing any opinion on the merits of the petitioner's representation dated 21.04.2025.

6. For the foregoing reasons, this Court directs the third respondent to pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law on the petitioner's representation dated 21.04.2025, seeking for cancellation of patta standing in the name of the fourth respondent and for issuance of joint patta which includes the name of the petitioner for the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order after hearing the objections of the fourth respondent as well as any other third party whom the third respondent deems it fit to enquire.
