ORDER
The Writ Petition is filed, seeking a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to carry out UDR correction in respect of the property situated in Survey Nos.1610/34, 1610/38 and 1610/44, at Ayyalur Village, Vedasandur Taluk, Dindigul District, and further direct the third respondent to issue Patta to the petitioner, by considering his representations, dated 07.04.2025 and 02.07.2025.
2. According to the petitioner, the subject property in old survey No.1610 was originally classified as Village Natham and the petitioner occupied a portion of the said property. Later, the subject property was
subdivided into sub-division numbers 1610/34, 1610/36 and 1610/38 and 1610/44. Though the petitioner is in occupation of the property, it was wrongly registered in the name of Kaliamman koil and as lane. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner submitted a representation, dated 02.07.2025, before the first respondent, seeking rectification of the errors in the UDR records. The same has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.
3. The learned Additional Government Pleader, who takes notice for respondents 1 to 3, would submit that the representation of the petitioner will be considered in accordance with law.
4. In view of the same, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, the first respondent is directed to consider the representation of the petitioner, dated 02.07.2025, and pass final orders on its own merits within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order, after issuing notice to petitioner, person in-charge of Kaliamman Koil and other interested parties.
5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, the connected W.M.P.(MD) No.14969 of 2025 is closed. 18.07.2025
