PLEADER SHRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 16854 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by the change of mutation effected in his favour allegedly without notice to the petitioner. He also challenges the validity of the change of mutation as well. Since he raises a specific contention of lack of opportunity of being heard before changing the mutation, I am of opinion that the matter should be reconsidered by the Tahsildar after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the concerned Tahsidlar to consider the matter afresh and pass appropriate orders after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and others concerned, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. Till then, the mutation in favour of the petitioner would stand. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
