WP/38143/2026 of K.Prithviraj Vs The Revenue Divisional Officer on 1 October 2026

ORDER

This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the 1st Respondent to correct the name of the owner in Patta in respect of his property.

2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner’s father originally owned 85 cents of land in Survey No. 227/8, Kottivakkam Village, Sholinganallur Taluk, Chennai District, which was subsequently transferred to the petitioner by way of a Settlement Deed. Thereafter, the petitioner sold a certain portion of the land, settled another portion in favour of his sons, and retained the remaining extent. Consequent to this, the petitioner’s sons were allotted their respective portions, and separate pattas were issued in their names. The petitioner and the third respondent had mutually agreed to demarcate a certain extent of land within their respective properties to serve as a pathway; accordingly, 16½ cents of the petitioner’s land in S.F. No. 227/7E2 was earmarked for this purpose. The grievance of the petitioner now is that the patta pertaining to S.F. No. 227/7F2 was erroneously issued in the name of the third respondent. Consequently, the petitioner submitted a representation to the first respondent on 02.07.2026 seeking a rectification of the name in the patta for S.F. No. 227/7F2. Since the said representation has not been considered till date, the petitioner has approached this Court with the present petition.
