This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the 2nd respondent to survey the petitioner’s land by considering the petitioner’s application dated 24.08.2026.
2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the properties in S.F. Nos. 242/1 (measuring an extent of 0.37.00 hectares of punja land) and 93/2 (measuring an extent of 0.95.00 hectares of punja land), situated at Kamakapalayam Village, Thalaivasal Taluk, Salem District, originally belonged to the petitioner along with Raja, Poovarasan, and Kaththan. They decided to divide the properties among themselves and executed a registered Partition Deed bearing Doc. No. 879 of 2025 dated 19.03.2025, by virtue of which the petitioner was allotted an extent of 1 acre 60½ cents. The petitioner submitted an online application dated 24.08.2026 to the 2nd respondent to survey the entire property in S.F. No. 242/1 and to issue a separate patta for his share of 1 acre 60½ cents. Since the said application has not been considered till date, the petitioner has approached this Court.
3. Learned Special Government Pleader who accepts notice on behalf of the 2nd respondent would submit that the petitioner’s land will be surveyed and demarcated based on his application dated 24.08.2026 along with necessary police aid, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.
