Heard the learned counsel on either side.
2. With the consent of both the parties, the main Writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
3. It is seen that the Writ petitioner had filed O.S.No.285 of 2014 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Sivakasi, along with two others against the Government. The suit was one for declaration and permanent injunction. The suit was decreed on 23.06.2015. The learned counsel appearing for the Writ petitioner asserts that the Judgment has become final as no appeal has been filed for the last 3 1⁄2 years. In respect of the said suit property, a representation has now been given for issuance of patta. The representation was given on 11.05.2017 to the second respondent. The second respondent issued memorandum dated 06.11.2017 calling upon the firka surveyor to carry out the survey. The petitioner's grievance is that nothing has transpired, thereafter. Therefore, the present Writ petition has been filed.
