ORDER
This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to direct the first respondent to dispose the petitioner's appeal dated 04.03.2024 and the petitioner's reminder letter dated 22.12.2025 and pass order to restore the petitioner's name in the joint Patta No.983 by removing the name of the 3rd and 4th respondents with respect to the subject property.
2. Heard Mr.K.Mahendran, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr.S.Siva Thilakar, learned Special Government Pleader for respondents 1 and 2 and Mr.S.Anwar Arul Raj, learned counsel for the third respondent. Service of notice on the fourth respondent is still awaited.
3. On considering the limited relief that has been sought for in the present writ petition, wherein direction had been sought to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner, notice to the 4th respondent stands dispensed with.
4. In the manual joint patta, the name of the petitioner finds place as a joint pattadhar. But however, in the computerised patta, the name of
WP(MD) No. 6045 of 2026 the petitioner has not been shown. Hence, the appeal has been filed before the first respondent.
5. The learned counsel appearing for the third respondent, on instructions, would submit that the third respondent would have no objection to the appeal to be disposed of by the first respondent. However, he seeks that the third respondent should be given an opportunity to be heard by the first respondent.
6. In view of the above, there shall be a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the appeal of the petitioner dated 04.03.2024, however, after affording opportunity to the 3rd and 4th respondents and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of twelve weeks' from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
7. With the above direction, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 05-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No ABR
