TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 33246 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 13th day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner, the property having an extent of 2.10 acres comprised in R.S.No.427/8 and 427/13 of Nenmeni Village was purchased by him in 1984. It is stated that thereupon he made application for patta and that finally the Government issued Ext.P3 order assigning the land to him. Finally petitioner remitted the land value and the tree value. Thereafter Ext.P10 patta was also issued to him. However, it was thereupon noticed that in Ext.P3 order issued by the Government, survey number in respect of the petitioner's property was wrongly mentioned as RS No.427/11 instead of 427/8 and 427/13. This was brought to the notice of the District Collector, who made Ext.P11 report to the Government seeking correction of the mistake. Though Ext.P11 was submitted to the Government on 12/9/11, so far orders have not been issued rectifying the mistake. It is in these circumstances complaining of delay in the matter, the writ petition is filed. 2. Thus, the case of the petitioner is that the mistake as WPC No.33246/11 :2 : pointed out in Ext.P11 concerning the survey number of the property has to be corrected by the Government by issuing appropriate orders. Now that Ext.P11 is shown to be pending before the 1st respondent, I direct the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P11 report of the District Collector and pass appropriate orders in the matter. This the 1st respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp The words “Nenmeni Village” occurring in the first sentence of the judgment dated 13/12/2011 in WP(C) 33246/2011 are corrected and substituted as “Krishnagiri Village” as per order dated 10/01/2012 in I.A 55/2012 in W.P(C) No.33246/2011.
