On the strength of Ext.P1, he applied for mutation by making an application to the first respondent. It is stated that the said application has been forwarded and is pending before the second respondent. There has not been any progress in the matter thereafter and it is therefore the writ petition has been filed seeking the following prayer:- “Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the second respondent to inspect the property covered by Ext.P1 with notice to the petitioner, verify the actual possession of land, file a report before the Tahsildar and direct the first respondent to effect mutation of the property covered by Ext.P1 in the name of the petitioner within such time as may be fixed by this Hon'ble Court.” W.P.(C) No.26530/2011 : 2 : 2. The petitioner being the owner of the property and as he has made application for its mutation, the same is to be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Transfer of Registry Rules and with particular reference of Rule 15 thereof. 3. Now that according to the petitioner the application for mutation is pending before the second respondent, I direct the second respondent to make his report to the first respondent within four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. It is directed that on receipt of the report as above, the first respondent shall pass orders in the matter, at any rate, within four weeks thereafter. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondents 1 and 2 for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
