Deeka Bai v. The Revenue Divisional Officer

ORDER The present Writ Petition has been filed seeking the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the 1st respondent to comply with the proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 09.06.2025.

¶2The case of the petitioner is that she submitted a legal notice dated

20.03.2026 to the 1st and 2nd respondents requesting issuance of a computerized patta in respect of an extent of 1,680 sq. ft. in Town Survey No.53/0, Door No.54 (New Door No.41), Sardar Patel Road, Guindy, Chennai–32, comprised in T.S.No.94 (Patta T.S.No.94/5), Block No.6, Venkatapuram Village, New Block No.38, New T.S.No.53, based on the proceedings of the Tahsildar, Guindy, dated 09.06.2025. However, despite the said proceedings, no action has Page2 of 5 been taken by the 1st respondent. Aggrieved by such inaction, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition.

¶3It is the further case of the petitioner that, during the enquiry conducted by the 2nd respondent, the representatives of the 3rd respondent categorically stated that the subject property does not belong to them, that the alleged overlap has no basis, and that they do not possess any document to establish title or entitlement over the extent claimed by the petitioner.

¶4It is further submitted that the Tahsildar, Guindy, after considering the documents produced by the petitioner, the submissions of the parties, and the report of the Surveyor, recommended subdivision of T.S.No.53/0 and addressed a communication dated 09.06.2025 to the 1st respondent recommending transfer of patta in favour of the petitioner by effecting the necessary subdivision from the holding standing in the name of the 3rd respondent.

¶5In view of the categorical stand taken by the 3rd respondent before the revenue authorities that the subject property does not belong to them and that they have no documents to substantiate any claim over the property, coupled with the recommendation made by the Tahsildar, Guindy, dated 09.06.2025 for Page3 of 5 issuance of patta in favour of the petitioner, this Court is of the view that the petitioner's request deserves consideration. Accordingly, the 1st respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to consider the petitioner's request for issuance of a computerized patta, taking into account the proceedings of the Tahsildar, Guindy, dated 09.06.2025, and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of hearing to all necessary parties, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶6With the above direction, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 13-07-2026 Asi To
