ORDER
This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the 1st and 3rd respondents to consider the petitioner’s representations dated 06.02.2025 and 19.01.2026.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner seeks a Writ of Mandamus directing respondents 1 and 3 to dispose of their representations dated 06.02.2025 and 19.01.2026. These representations request the issuance of a patta for the subject property, measuring 3 cents in S.No.81/2, Parangipettai Village, Bhuvanagiri Taluk, Cuddalore District, which was purchased via a Sale Deed dated 15.04.1980. The said land is classified as 'Punjai' land, and the petitioner’s family has been in continuous possession of it for decades. To regularise the revenue records, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 06.02.2025, followed by a further representation dated 19.01.2026 seeking early action. As these representations evoked no response, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition.
