ORDER

This writ petition has been filed for issuance of writ of mandamus directing the respondents 1 and 2 to act upon the representation made by the petitioner on 06.08.2020 and to remove the name of the third respondent's father from the revenue records and to include the name of the petitioner in the revenue records pertaining to the subject property.

2. When the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the official respondents submitted that the second respondent has already conducted survey in the subject property.

3. In the considered view of this Court, the second respondent will have to intimate the petitioner as to whether the name of the third respondent's father can be removed from the revenue records and the name of the petitioner can be incorporated with respect to subject property. Since the survey has already been conducted by the second respondent, it will be more clearer for the second 2/4

respondent to either incorporate the name of the petitioner in the revenue records or refuse to remove the name of the third respondent's father from the revenue records and assign necessary reasons while passing such an order. Only if such an order is conveyed to the petitioner, the petitioner will be able to workout his remedy.

4. In view of the above, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to pass orders on the representation made by the petitioner on 06.08.2020 and convey the same to the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5. This writ petition is disposed with above directions. No costs. 10.10.2023 NCC : Yes/No Internet :Yes/No Index :Yes/No sm TO:- 1.The District Collector, Trichy District, Trichy.
