By consent of both parties, this writ petition is taken up for final hearing at the admission stage itself. 4. It is the case of the petitioner that the property at door No.3/167A, Kannanur Village, Thuraiyur Taluk, Trichy District in old Survey No.357 in New Survey No.681/13 in Patta No.561 measuring an extent of 2 cents is owned by three persons, namely the petitioner herein, Krishnasamy @ Krishnan and Thangaraju. According to the petitioner, a joint patta was also issued by the respondent in the year 2002, in favour of all three persons. However, according to the petitioner, without the knowledge of the petitioner, suddenly, Krishnasamy @ Krishnan got a patta issued by the respondent in his name exclusively. Therefore, the petitioner gave a representation on 20.09.2018, requesting him to cancel the exclusive patta issued in favour of Krishnasamy @ Krishnan. According to the petitioner, enquiry was conducted by the respondent in the representation, dated 20.09.2018, given by the petitioner. Krishnasamy @ Krishnan in whose name presently the patta stands was also heard in the enquiry proceedings. However, according to the petitioner, till date no final orders have been passed in the representation dated 20.09.2018, given by the petitioner. In such circumstances, this writ petition has been filed. 5. The relief sought for in this writ petition is an innocuous relief.
