ORDER
This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the first respondent to hold an enquiry in respect of the subject land.
2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a widow and has been in continuous, uninterrupted possession of Grama Natham land measuring 0.02.00 Hectares in Survey No. 111/18 at Ekkadu Kandigai, Thiruvallur District, for over 30 years, where she has put up a dwelling hut. The petitioner submitted an application dated 02.06.2026 to the first respondent (The Tahsildar, Thiruvallur) enclosing all necessary documents for the issuance of a house site patta.

4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the respondents and also perused the materials available on record.
