ORDER
This writ petition is filed for issuing a writ of Mandamus directing the second respondent to conduct an enquiry and to cancel the joint patta standing in the name of respondents 5 to 8. 2.However, the petitioner has produced before this Court the proceedings of the Tahsildar, modifying the earlier order passed by him earlier. Though the petitioner states that the patta has now been changed in favour of the petitioner in respect of two survey numbers, still the petitioner has grievance as there is some variation in the extent. Therefore, the petitioner also seeks leave of this Court to agitate his case before the appellate authority namely, the Revenue Divisional Officer.
3.In view of the same, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the second respondent who is the Appellate Authority under the Tamilnadu Patta Pass Book Act. No costs.
