2. Heard the arguments of Mr.V.Selvakumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mrs.K.Porkodi, learned Special Government Pleader, who takes notice for the respondents 1 and 2 and Mr.R.Mohamed Riyaz, learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side), who takes notice for the third respondent. Since no adverse order is going to be passed as against the private respondents, notice to them is dispensed with. By consent, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
3. The petitioner claims right over the subject property under settlement deed executed by her sons dated 03.07.2026.

5. In view of the same, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, the respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 25.07.2026 and pass final orders on its own merits within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after issuing notice to the petitioner, private respondents 4 and 5, neighbouring land owners and other interested parties, if any.
