ORDER The petitioner had submitted a representation to the second respondent on 02.04.2014, seeking issuance of patta for the land in Survey No.216/1 situated at K.Paramathi Village, Aravakurich Taluk. Since there was no response, she had submitted another representation dated 22.04.2014 to the first respondent, who in turn directed the second respondent to take action on her application, vide his proceedings in O.Mu.No.1312/2014(A4) dated 08.05.2014. Thereafter, Aravakurichi Taluk was bifurcated and a new Taluk, namely, Pugalur Taluk was created.
