3.According to the Petitioner, he purchased 926 sq.ft of land in the above mentioned survey number under registered sale deed, dated 27.6.2018. In the TSLR records, the extent of the property is not properly mentioned. Though the Petitioner purchased 926 sq.ft of land, only lesser extent is mentioned in the TSLR records. Therefore the Petitioner submitted a representation on 6.6.2025 seeking correction of TSLR records with regard to the extent.
4.At the time of arguments, the learned counsel for the Petitioner also raised new points like entry in TSLR records in favour of third parties. The points not raised by the Petitioner in his representation cannot be raised in this Writ Petition. Therefore if the Petitioner has any grievance with regard to the entries in TSLR records, he has to submit a fresh representation pointing out the defects in the TSLR records. As far as the present representation is concerned, though it was submitted on 6.6.2025, till date no action has been taken on the said representation. Hence the Petitioner has come before this Court with the present Writ Petition.
5.The learned counsel for the second respondent/The Commissioner of Madurai would submit that no representation 3/6
was submitted by the Petitioner to the second respondent. Therefore the second respondent is not in a position to consider his request.

On receipt of such fresh representation, the second respondent is directed to consider the said representation and pass final orders on its own merits after affording reasonable opportunity to the Petitioner and other interested parties, if any, within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of such fresh representation. 7.With the above directions, the Writ Petition stands disposed of.
