The present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus seeking for a direction to the second respondent to take necessary action for cancelling the patta by considering the petitioner’s representation dated 12.12.2025 within a time limit fixed by this Court.
2. Heard Mr.R.Anandha Raj, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr.S.Vashik Ali, learned Additional Government Pleader, who accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. In view of the order proposed to be passed, notice to the respondents 4 and 5 is dispensed with.
