O R D E R

This writ petition was filed in the year 2016 for a Mandamus, directing the second respondent to consider the petitioner's representation, dated 01.08.2016. 2.The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have attempted to cancel the patta, which has been granted in favour of the petitioner. Therefore, he submitted a representation to the respondents not to cancel the patta and filed this writ petition for a Mandamus.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the Sub Collector, Lalkudi has passed an order in Na.Ka.No.A3/2884/15, dated 04.07.2016, cancelling the assignment of the land to the petitioner and directed the concerned officials to restore the land in Survey No.295-6, to an extent of 0.20.0 Ares of Lalkudi Taluk, Periyakurukkai Village as ''Tharisu''. 2/5

However, the petitioner by executing a general power has sold the property to a third party by document No. 3355-2014 within six years from the date of assignment. Since the petitioner has violated the condition, the assignment was cancelled and consequently patta stands in the name of the petitioner was also cancelled. The land was restored as ''tharisu''. 5.Recording the submissions made by the learned Additional Government Pleader, this writ petition is closed as no further order is required. No costs.
