ORDER
The petitioner herein seeks a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to cancel the patta issued in the name of the 4th respondent in respect of the property situated in S.F. No.24/1B, Gundoor Village, Thiruverumbur Taluk, Trichy District by considering his representation dated 14.07.2022.
2. Heard the arguments of the learned counsel on either side.
3. According to the petitioner, the above mentioned property is an ancestral property and the revenue records, like A Register and Adangal stand in the name of the petitioner's mother. During UDR updation, the name of the fourth respondent was wrongly included in the revenue records. Therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation on 14.07.2022 before the second respondent seeking deletion of the fourth respondent's name and inclusion of his name in the revenue records. However, the said representation has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.
4. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 would submit that the representation submitted by the petitioner will be considered in accordance with law within the time stipulated by this Court.
5. In view of the same, without going into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, the second respondent is directed to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 14.07.2022 and pass final orders on its own merits, after issuing notice to the petitioner and
the fourth respondent, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
