ORDER
Heard both sides.
2.By consent of both sides, the main Writ Petition itself is taken up for final disposal.
3.The grievance of the Petitioners is that they submitted a petition before the First Respondent/The District Collector, Thanjavur District, Thanjavur on the ''Grievance Day'' seeking issuance of ryotwari patta. Also, for the said petition, acknowledgement, dated 19.9.2005 was issued by the First Respondent/District Collector's Office. It is quite evident that the said representation of the Petitioners dated 19.9.2005 has not seen the light of the day and no orders appears to have been passed on the petition/representation made by the Petitioners.
