3. It is the case of the petitioner that the fifth respondent was assigned with the land measuring an extent of 2.02.5 Hectares situated at S.No.162/3 in Melathuraiyur Village, Kannamangalam Post, Ilaiyangudi Taluk, Sivagangai District. The assignment was made for the purpose of agricultural cultivation. Violating the conditions, the fifth respondent sold the same to the 6th respondent and the patta has also been transferred to the 6th respondent. The petitioner therefore submitted a representation before the second respondent on 05.02.2025 seeking to cancel the assignment in favour of the 5th respondent and to cancel the patta granted in favour of the 6th respondent. As the said representation has not been considered, the petitioner has come forward before this Court.
4. Ms.K.Malathi, learned Additional Government Pleader, who took notice for the respondents 1 to 4, would submit that already the second respondent sought a report from the third respondent and final order will be passed by the second respondent, after receipt of the report from the third respondent.
5. In view of the submission made by the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 4, without going into the merits of 3/5
the matter, the second respondent is directed to complete the enquiry initiated by his proceedings in O.Mu.A3/945/2025 dated 21.02.2025 and pass final orders on its own merits within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
