For Petitioner : Mr.N.Sathish Babu For Respondents : Mr.K.A.Nandagopan (For R1 & R2) Addl.Govt.Pleader O R D E R The petitioner seeks a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the statutory proceedings in P1/RP No.42/2010 at an earlier date. 2.The petitioner is stated to be the owner of the property in S.Nos.303/B, 303/2B, 303/3B, 303/1, 303/2A, 303/3 having purchased the same as per document dated 06.09.2007. The parents of the petitioner earlier granted an Inam settlement in favour of 3rd respondent. It was cancelled subsequently as per document dated 01.06.2005. Since the patta stood in the name of the 3rd respondent on the basis of the Inam settlement deed dated 01.06.2005, the petitioner filed an appeal before the second respondent to cancel the patta. The second respondent rejected the appeal as per proceedings dated 07.06.2010. The said order was challenged before the first respondent. Eventhough the revision was numbered long back, no follow up action has been taken by the first respondent to dispose of the matter. This made the petitioner to file the writ petition. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 3.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 4.The revision filed by the petitioner was taken on file as early as on 25.01.2010.
