By consent, this Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. 3.The petitioner claims to have purchased the property through a registered sale deed dated 25.10.2010 from one Mohammed Sheriff. His son, namely, M.S.Sheik Mohammed Abdullah filed a suit in O.S.No.20 of 2011 seeking partition. The said suit was decreed on 05.11.2012. However, the appeal preferred by the petitioner before the District Court, Sivagangai in A.S.No.5 of 2013 was allowed by a judgment and decree dated 07.04.2014. Subsequently, the petitioner filed an application before the second respondent for transfer of patta. Since no favourable order was passed, the present writ petition.

4.Considering the limited scope of the prayer sought for by the petitioner, this Court, without going into the merits of the matter, directs the second respondent to consider the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
