1 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 08.02.2011 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE K.K.SASIDHARAN W.P.(MD).No.350 of 2011 T.Shenbagam ... Petitioner Vs. The Tahsildar, Thirumangalam Taluk, Madurai District. ... Respondent Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 09.09.2010 within a stipulated period. For petitioner : Mr.P.Subbaraj For respondent : Mr.K.A.Nandagopan, Addl. Government Pleader ORDER Failure on the part of the respondent to consider the representation dated 09.09.2010 to change the patta made the petitioner to file this writ petition. 2.According to the petitioner, the property in Survey Nos.80/17 & 102/4, having an extent of 6.3/4 cents & 20 cents at Sivarakottai Village, in Thirumangalam Taluk, originally belonged to his father. After his death, the property devolved on the petitioner and other legal heirs. However, the patta of the property stood in the name of his deceased father. Therefore, the petitioner appears to have submitted a representation before the respondent on 09.09.2010 requesting him to transfer the patta. However, there was no follow up action which made the petitioner to file the writ petition. 3.The petitioner seeks only a limited relief directing the respondent to consider his representation dated 09.09.2010 to change the patta. The respondent, being the authority to transfer the patta, cannot keep the matter pending for months together. Therefore, I am of the view that https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 interest of justice would be sub-served in case a direction is issued to the respondent to consider the matter at an early point of time. 4.Accordingly, the respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 09.09.2010 on merits, as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5.The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction.
