ORDER
This writ petition has been filed for issuance of a direction to the second respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 06.10.2020, requesting not to register any document pertaining to the lands in Survey Nos. 27/1, 2, 31/4, 61/1, 35/2A, 35/2B, 37/3, 37/5, 39/5, 6, 40/3, 40/6, 39/7, 46/7, 27/9, 27/1, 40/1, 27/3-B, 39/3A, 46/4 and 38, to an extent of 16 Acres 42 cents in Managalakudi Village, Madurai District without sanction under Section 34 of the Tamil Nadu Act 22 of 1959.
2. Mr.M.Murugan, learned Government Advocate takes notice for the respondents 1 and 2 and Mr.Prabhu Ramachandran, learned counsel takes notice for R3. By consent, the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself.
3. Though the petitioner has sought for disposal of his representation dated 06.10.2020, such a blanket direction cannot be issued by this Court. A reading of the representation shows that the remedy lies to the petitioner only before the Civil Court and this Court cannot look into the issue raised in this writ petition. Therefore, without touching the merits on any of the contention raised in this writ petition, this writ petition stands dismissed by granting liberty to the petitioner to agitate his grievance before the appropriate forum. No Costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
