2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition to rectify the Town Survey Land Record (TSLR) in respect of the subject property, measuring an aggregate extent of 1.70 acres (comprising 1.33 acres, 0.09½ acres, and 0.27½ acres), situated within the Tiruppur Registration District, Tiruppur Joint-I Sub- Registrar Office (SRO), Tiruppur Taluk, New Ward No. 4, Thottipalayam Village. The said property was mortgaged by respondents 13 and 14 to secure financial facilities availed by the fifth respondent partnership firm, against which total outstanding dues stand at ₹50,73,15,166.59 (Rupees fifty crore seventy-three lakh fifteen thousand one hundred sixty-six and paise fifty-nine only) as on 10.08.2026. The credit facilities are secured by the aforesaid property measuring 1.70 acres, among other immovable properties that have since been sold or released.
3. The loan accounts of the fifth respondent were classified as a Non- Performing Asset (NPA). Consequently, the petitioner initiated action under the SARFAESI Act and intended to take physical possession of the subject property measuring 1.70 acres; however, the efforts were in vain. The petitioner subsequently came to know of a report from the first respondent, which revealed that the TSLR extract dated 23.05.2023 erroneously reflects the ownership of a portion of the mortgaged property, measuring 1.33 acres, in the

names of neighbouring owners instead of the actual owners who mortgaged the said property. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner sent a letter to respondents 1 and 4, with a copy marked to the third respondent and the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), Tiruppur, seeking restoration of the revenue entries based on the earlier TSLR records. Since the said representation has not been considered to date, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition.
4. In reply, the learned Additional Government Pleader, who accepts notice on behalf of respondents 1 to 4, submits that the competent authority to consider the petitioner’s letter dated 23.06.2026 is the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tiruppur. Since the said official has not been formally impleaded as a party to this Writ Petition, a direction may be issued to the said official to consider and dispose of the petitioner’s representation/letter dated 23.06.2026.
5. In response, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that a copy of the said representation has already been duly marked to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tiruppur.
6. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, and perused the materials available on record.
