Dated this the 10th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner is a widow. Ext.P1 is the patta which was issued in favour of her deceased husband in respect of 6.750 cents of property comprised in Sy.No.9/1A of Sasthamcottah Village. According to the petitioner, when re-survey was conducted, mistake was committed and a portion of the property was wrongly included as road puramboke in R.S.No.294 of Sasthamcottah Village. When the petitioner came to know the aforesaid mistake, she made an application to the second respondent for rectification which is stated to have been forwarded to the third respondent. It is also submitted that there was no action on the application. Therefore, she made Ext.P5 before the Minister for Revenue. Referring to Ext.P6, it is stated that Ext.P5 has been forwarded to the first respondent. Despite of the above, the alleged mistake is not rectified and it is therefore, the writ petition is filed. 2. From the submission made by the petitioner, what emerges is that the application made by her to the second respondent for rectification of the mistake in the re-survey was forwarded and is W.P.(C).29983/11 2 pending before the third respondent. Therefore I direct the third respondent to take action on the said application, if the same is received and is pending. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
