It is seen that the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ramanathapuram is the authority competent to grant relief to the petitioner. Therefore, the respondent/Tahsildhar, Thiruvadanai Taluk, Ramanathapuram District is directed to forward the petitioner's representation dated 02.06.2020 to the competent authority, namely, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ramanathapuram.
