For Petitioner(s): Mr A. Ashok Kumar For Respondent(s): Mr D.

The petitioner has filed documents along with this writ petition to claim that she is entitled for the issuance of separate patta for the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition. 3. Since the online application has not been considered till date, the petitioner has been constrained to file this writ petition. 4. Mr. D. Ravichander, learned Special Government Pleader accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. On instructions, he would submit that there are rival claims for the said property and that is the reason why the petitioner’s online application seeking for issuance of separate patta is yet to be considered by the respondents. He would submit that after hearing the objections of the rival claimants, the respondents are willing to consider the petitioner’s online application, seeking for issuance of separate patta. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 46525 of 2025 5.

This Court is not expressing any opinion on the merits of the petitioner’s online application dated 17.03.2025, seeking for issuance of separate patta in favour of the petitioner for the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition. 7.
