ORDER

The petitioner asserts that she is the sole and absolute owner of land admeasuring 50.32 cents in New Survey No.273/1B of Nallur Village, Tiruppur South Taluk. According to the petitioner, the second respondent herein issued order dated 29.05.2023 rejecting the objections raised by the HR & CE Department and holding that documents presented for registration by the petitioner's husband would be received for registration. The petitioner also relies upon earlier order dated 14.09.2022 of the District Revenue Officer confirming the issuance of patta in favour of the petitioner's husband. In these circumstances, the petitioner seeks a direction to the third respondent to cancel the current zero value assigned to the land and to instead provide the guideline value of Rs.729/- per sq.ft. The petitioner also seeks re-classification of the land from HR & CE land to mixed type.

2. Learned Special Government Pleader accepts notice for both the respondents. He submits that the Minor Inams Tribunal, Coimbatore, by order dated 08.11.1971 in C.M.A.No.323 of 1969 concluded that the land was private land and not the land of the Soliamman temple. __________Page 2 of 4

In all these proceedings, the title of the predecessor-in-interest of the petitioner was upheld. Therefore, the petitioner makes out a case for the consideration of the request for re-fixation of value and re-classification.
