C.Murugan v. The District Collector

ORDER This writ petition is filed to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 27.05.2025.

¶2Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is the absolute owner of the house site comprised in Survey No.119/7, measuring

6.50 cents, situated at Kuppam Village, Thiruthani Taluk, Thiruvallur District, by virtue of a registered Sale Deed bearing Document No.1102 of 1993, and was also issued Patta No.1388. He further submits that in the original Field Measurement Book (FMB), the land was accurately recorded as 6.50 cents; however, it was subsequently, unilaterally, and arbitrarily altered to 6.17 cents. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner submitted a representation dated

27.05.2025 to the revenue authorities requesting the restoration of the original extent of land as per the pre-UDR records. Since the said representation has not been considered to date, the petitioner has been constrained to file the present writ petition.

¶3Mr.B.Pachaiyappan, learned Government's Counsel appearing for the respondents would submit that the petitioner's representation dated 27.05.2025 will be considered within a period of six weeks. Page3 of 5
