ORDER
The present writ petition has been filed seeking direction the respondents 1 and 2 to issue the Adangal in respect of Patta No.12476, comprised in Survey No.482/2A, Malayalapatti Village, and Patta No.4749, comprised in Survey No.261/4, Veppanthattai Taluk, Perambalur District, to enable the petitioner to obtain crop insurance for the agricultural lands.
2. The case of the petitioner is that the aforesaid lands originally belonged to his grandfather, Duraaisamy, who purchased the same under registered sale deeds dated 07.05.1983 and 16.05.1983. According to the petitioner, the lands have been in the enjoyment of his family for several decades, and the petitioner has been cultivating the same and raising agricultural crops. He further claims that the revenue records stand in his name in respect of the lands in question.
3. The petitioner states that he cultivated maize during August 2026 and intended to insure the crops under the crop insurance scheme announced by the Government. Since the last date for obtaining crop insurance was stated to be 16.10.2026, he approached the Village Administrative Officer for issuance of the Adangal. However, the same was allegedly refused on account of a dispute involving the third respondent. The petitioner contends that the refusal has prevented him from obtaining crop insurance and has caused hardship.
4. The learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 submits that a civil suit in O.S. No.231 of 2024 is pending before the Sub Court, Perambalur, in respect of the subject matter. In view of the pending civil dispute, the Adangal cannot be issued as sought for by the petitioner.
5. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 and perused the materials available on record.
6. Considering the rival submissions, it is evident that the request for issuance of the Adangal arises in the backdrop of a pending civil dispute concerning the subject property. In such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to issue the positive direction sought for by the petitioner in the present writ petition. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to work out his remedies before the competent Civil Court in the pending suit, in accordance with law.
