The petitioner's land comprised in survey Nos.3/2 and 3/3 measuring a total extent of 3.00 acres/hectares was originally allotted to the petitioner's father through a land allotment deed dated 22.05.1951 by the Boodhan Yagna Board. Thereafter, it was sub divided as survey No.3/2A, 3/2B, 3/3A and 3/3B. After demise of the petitioner's father, the petitioner and some others being the legal heirs, they are in possession and enjoyment of the subject property by cultivating. Therefore, the petitioner submitted representation for issuance of patta for the property comprised in survey No.3/2B and 3/3B. 3. On perusal of the counter filed by the fourth respondent 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP.No.24328 of 2025 and on the submissions made by the the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents, it is revealed that the revenue records did not establish the exclusive possession of the petitioner and a portion of the subject land remains under the control of the Government and it cannot be treated as private land. Though the petitioner was permitted to cultivate the same, it does not confer any ownership or title over the property. Further, the subject land is shown in the revenue records as Government poramboke or communal use lands. That apart, there are civil disputes pending among the petitioner and his brothers in OS.No.54 of 2025 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Harur in respect of the subject property. Therefore, the request made by the petitioner cannot be considered and this writ petition is devoid of merits. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. 22.10.2025 lok Index:Yes/No Neutral citation:Yes/No Speaking/Non speaking 3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP.No.24328 of 2025 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J. lok To 1.THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, DHARMAPURI DISTRICT 2.THE DISTRICT REVENUE OFFICER, DHARMAPURI DISTRICT 3.THE REVNEUE DIVISIONAL OFFICER, HARUR TALUK, DHARMAPURI DISTRICT 4.THE TAHSILDAR, HARUR TALUK, DHARMAPURI DISTRICT 5.The Government Advocate High Court of Madras WP.No.24328 of 2025 22.10.2025 4/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
