ORDER
The present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus seeking for a direction to the respondent to mutate the patta in favour of the petitioner for the property situated in T.S.No.11/2A1F (Old SF.No.182/1A) of Theni Allinagaram Town, Theni District admeasuring an extent of 25 cents based on the Application No.2026/0154/25/004086 dated
17.08.2026.
2. Heard Mr.S.Ramanathan, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr.S.Venkatesh, learned Additional Government Pleader, who accepts notice on behalf of the respondent. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
3. It is the case of the petitioner that he has purchased the subject property and subsequent to the purchase, since mutation of revenue records has not been made by the revenue authorities, he has made a representation to the respondent. Since the said representation has not been considered till date, he has approached this Court with the aforesaid relief.
4. It is to be noted that earlier an order of refusal check slip was passed by the jurisdictional Sub Registrar against which, the petitioner had moved this Court in W.P.(MD)No.29144 of 2025, wherein, noting that no civil suit is pending in respect of the subject property as against the petitioner, this Court had set aside the order of refusal check slip and directed registration of the document. However, liberty was given to the private respondent therein to establish her title before the civil Court. It is also to be noted that in an Execution Petition, the private respondent in W.P.(MD)No.29144 of 2025 had filed an application to adjudicate her right, title and interest over the subject property and the same was also dismissed by order, dated 29.07.2026. Hence, this Court is of the view that there is no impediment for the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner.
5. In such view of the matter, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider the representation/application made by the petitioner on 17.08.2026 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. 06-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No cmr To The Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Theni District.
