WP(MD) No. 28918 of 2026
2. The petitioner has approached this Court for issuance of Mandamus to direct the second respondent to restore the patta in the name of Nagammal for Survey No.1062/3 by considering the petitioner's representation dated 19.09.2026.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the land, which is originally owned by the mother of the petitioner, for which, patta had also been granted in her favour, had been now shown in the revenue records as 'Anadhinam' lands. Hence, the petitioner has made a representation to the respondents on 19.09.2026 for restoring the patta.
4. Since a representation has been made by the petitioner for the relief as indicated above, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 19.09.2026 and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, after affording an opportunity to the petitioner and any other interested parties concerned.
