THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE K.RAVICHANDRABAABU W.P.(MD)No.12057 of 2014 V.RajaMichel ... Petitioner Vs.

1.The District Collector, Tirunelveli District, Tirunelveli.

2.Mr.Raju, Regional Deputy Tahsildar, River Linking Plan, Nanguneri, Tirunelveli District.

3.Mr.C.Kumar, Village Administrative Officer, Thisaiyanvillai, Tirunelveli District.

... Respondents Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to issue a Writ of Mandamus to consider the petitioner's representation dated 02/05/2014 given to 1st Respondents and further to take action against the 2nd and 3rd Respondents, who have committed offence willfully in name change in patta. For Petitioner : Mr.V.Rajivrufus For Respondents : Mr.A.Muthukaruppan Addl. Government Pleader for R1 Mr.S.Ramakrishnan for R2 & R3

ORDER

This writ petition is filed seeking for a direction to the first respondent to take action against the second and third respondents based on the petitioner's representation, dated 02.05.2014.

2.According to the petitioner, the act of the second and third respondents in transferring the patta, which was standing in the name of the petitioner, in favour of the other persons, was not https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

correct and therefore, action has to be taken against those respondents. Therefore, he approached the first respondent and gave a representation on 02.05.2014.

3.It is stated that already the petitioner has filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer and further revision before the District Revenue Officer in respect of the patta proceedings and failed to succeed before both the authorities. When that being the factual position, I do not understand as to how the petitioner is justified in seeking the action against the second and third respondents, who have only discharged their official duties. Therefore, I find no merits in this writ petition. 4.Accordingly, this writ petition fails and the same is dismissed. No costs.
