The case of the petitioner is that his native place is South Valliyoor, which comes under Radhapuram Taluk, Tirunelveli District. However, long back, he had migrated to Alangulam Taluk, Tirunelveli District.

Basing on this, the second respondent herein, by his proceedings dated 18.02.2011, had requested the third respondent herein to enquire about the community of the petitioner and submit a report. In pursuance of the same, the Revenue Inspector, Panagudi, Radhapuram Taluk, Tirunelveli District, had sent a communication to the third respondent with regard to the community of the petitioner. In spite of the same, so far, no orders have been passed. Hence, the present Writ Petition is filed. 3. On notice, the learned Special Government Pleader has filed a counter affidavit. As per the stand taken in the counter affidavit also, the native place of the petitioner is Radhapuram Taluk, Tirunelveli District.
