3.According to the Petitioner, the subject property originally belonged to his mother Alagammal. After the death of Petitioner's mother, patta for the subject property was mutated in the name of Petitioner's brother under whom the private respondents 5 to 7 are claiming right over the subject property. Therefore the Petitioner submitted an appeal before the second respondent seeking issuance of separate patta. The same has not been considered so far. Hence the Petitioner has come before this Court with the present Writ Petition for the relief stated supra. 4.Mrs.K.Malathi, learned Additional Government Pleader who takes notice for the respondents 1 to 4 would submit that the appeal filed by the Petitioner will be considered on its own merits within the time stipulated by this Court.
