Therefore, the petitioner submitted instant representation, dated 24.02.2025, seeking issuance separate patta before the first respondent and the same has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.

In view of the same, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, the petitioner is directed to file proper on-line application and produce the acknowledgement before the third respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On such production of acknowledgment, the third respondent shall consider the same and pass final orders on its own merits, within a period of eight weeks after affording reasonable opportunity to the petitioner and other interested parties. _________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
