(PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to include the property in S.No.91/6 to an extent of 0.11.0 acres of lands in Alavayal Village, Ponnamaravathi Taluk, Pudukkottai District in Patta No.1587 as per the Assignment order NO.Rc.4655/07, dated 14.6.2007, as per the proceedings of the fourth respondent.) This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to include the property in S.No.91/6 to an extent of 0.11.0 acres of lands in Alavayal Village, Ponnamaravathi Taluk, Pudukkottai District in Patta No.1587 as per the Assignment order NO.Rc.4655/07, dated 14.6.2007, as per the proceedings of the fourth respondent. 2. Mr.R.Raghavendran, learned Government Advocate(Civil Side) takes notice for the respondents 1 to 4. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. 3. The Petitioner was assigned with lands under the category of Landless Agricultural Families Scheme, 2006 in S.No.91/6, to an extent of 0.11.0 ares and S.No.92/1 to an extent of 0.38.0 ares in Alavayal Village, Ponnamaravathi Taluk, Pudukkottai District. The Petitioner made an application for issuance of computerized chitta and at that time, the authorities issued chitta without adding the property in S.No.91/6 to an extent of 0.11.0 ares in Patta No.1587. Computerized chitta was also issued only for S.No.92/1 to an extent of 038.0 ares. The Petitioner, therefore, applied for issuance of patta for adding the property in S.No.91/6 measuring an extent of 0.11.0 ares and in this regard, the Petitioner sent a detailed reporesentation on 28.11.2024. Even after the receipt of the representation, the respondents did not take any action to rectify the mistake and therefore the Petitioner made representation to the respondent on 06.12.2024 and thereafter issued legal notice on 14.12.2024. As no action was taken, the Petitioner filed the above Writ Petition for the aforesaid relief. 4. It is seen from the assignment order, dated 14.6.2007 that the Petitioner was assigned with lands in S.No.91/6, to an extent of 0.11.0 ares and S.No.92/1 to an extent of 0.38.0 ares in Alavayal Village, Ponnamaravathi Taluk, Pudukkottai District. As no action was taken, the Petitioner filed the above Writ Petition for the aforesaid relief. 4. It is seen from the assignment order, dated 14.6.2007 that the Petitioner was assigned with lands in S.No.91/6, to an extent of 0.11.0 ares and S.No.92/1 to an extent of 0.38.0 ares in Alavayal Village, Ponnamaravathi Taluk, Pudukkottai District. The Petitioner made an application for issuance of patta and while issuing patta S.NO.92/1 to an extent of 0.38.0 ares was only included and other property in S.No.91/6 to an extent of 0.01.0 ares was left out. The petitioner sent several representations to the respondents, but the same did not yield any result and therefore, the Petitioner filed the above Writ Petition for the aforesaid relief. 5. From the assignment order, it is clear that the Petitioner was allotted with properties in two survey numbers. Patta was issued only for one survey number and inspite of Petitioner’s repeated representation, the respondents did not rectify the mistake. Therefore, I am inclidned to direct the third respondent to include S.No.91/6 in patta NO.1587 as per the assignment order, dated 14.6.2007 within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
