M.Ramasami v. The Commissioner of Land Administration

Order This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the respondents to issue a patta for the petitioner's land situated in the Kallakurichi District by considering the representation dated 02.12.2024.

¶2The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the Kalrayan Hill ranges are divided into five Nadus and that Act 26 of 1963 was enacted to acquire rights in Inam lands and to introduce Ryotwari settlements in such estates. The Government passed G.O.Ms.No.3551, Revenue, dated 31.12.1965, by which the abolition of the Inam estate in the Kalrayan Hills came into effect on 01.02.1966. Section 10 of the Act provides for the grant of Ryotwari patta to the ryots. In the year 1971, the Government also issued instructions regarding the grant of patta. The petitioners have filed these writ petitions seeking patta in respect of the Poonjai Tharisu (dry wasteland) lands situated in S.F.Nos. 72, 84, 90, and 91. Although the petitioners have submitted representations requesting the issuance of patta for the said tharisu lands, their representations have not yet been considered. Page4 of 6
