O R D E R

The petitioner seeks issuance of Writ of Mandamus directing the second respondent to conclude the proceedings in Na.Ka.A1/5595/2023 dated 06.12.2023.

2.Considering the limited scope of the Writ Petition, with the consent of the learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr.M.Lingadurai, learned Special Government Pleader, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal, even at the stage of admission. The petitioner has made an application to include his name and other legal heirs' names in the patta, which has now been mutated in the name of his elder brother alone. The petitioner's application has 2/5

been taken on file and an enquiry has also commenced vide the impugned proceedings dated 06.12.2023.

3.The grievance of the petitioner is that subsequent to the commencement of the proceedings, there has been no substantial progress and hence, she seeks for expeditious conclusion of the enquiry proceedings.

4.Considering the fact that enquiry has commenced even as early as in December, 2023, the second respondent shall conclude the enquiry proceedings after affording opportunity to all the parties concerned and pass final orders on the petitioner's application for inclusion of his name as well as other legal heirs of Nathamuni, within a period of eight [8] weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5.Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
