A.Angel Lourdu Selvam v. The District Collector

ORDER The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner informs the Court that the bundle had been returned to the writ petitioner long back. The writ petitioner however has not made any alternative arrangements.

¶2I went through the contents of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. The petitioner is aggrieved by the cancellation of her patta by the third respondent. The petitioner seeks restoration of her name in the revenue record. The petitioner can very well go before the second respondent. It is seen that the cancellation was done at the instance of one Arokiasamy. The said Arokiasamy has not been made as a party. It is also seen that the said Arokiasamy has filed civil suit impeaching the sale deed executed in favour of the writ petitioner. The rights of the parties would obviously abide by the out of the civil suit. The petitioner has to necessarily establish her case before the civil Court. If the suit filed by the said Arokiasamy is dismissed, certainly the petitioner can seek mutation of revenue record in her favour.

¶3With this observation, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
