Madras High Court
WP/37275/2026 of K.RAJAGOPAL Vs THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR on 30 September 2026
W.P.No.37275 of 2026
KRISHNAN RAMASAMY, J.
This matter is listed today under the caption “for being mentioned”.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the prayer in the present Writ Petition is to measure, demarcate, and issue a subdivision patta for the petitioner’s property. However, in the order passed by this Court dated 15.09.2026, the official respondent was directed only to conduct a survey and lay boundary stones. The relief regarding the issuance of a subdivision patta was inadvertently omitted. Hence, the learned counsel seeks a necessary correction in the order.
3. Mr. Bhagavath Krishnan, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, has no objection to the modification sought by the petitioner.
4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing on either side, Paragraph No. 6 of the order dated 15.09.2026 shall stand replaced with the following paragraph:
“6. It is made clear that this order is passed only for the purpose of issuing a direction to the official respondent to conduct a survey, lay boundary stones at the subject property and issue a sub division patta. In the event any dispute arises regarding the possession of the subject property, the same has to be decided by way of filing a suit before the competent Civil Court.”
