JUDGMENT

The petitioner approached 3rd respondent for issuance of duplicate patta. Ext.P2 is the request.

2. It appears that the files relating to patta is missing from the office and therefore, the Revenue Officials could not issue duplicate patta.

3. This Court is of the view that attempt shall be made to trace out the file by the Tahsildar within a period of three months. If files could not be traced out making after necessary enquiry, a certificate shall be issued to the petitioner regarding issuance of patta.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
