The principal contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the name of the petitioner's father, Ramasamy, was recorded in the revenue records relating to the relevant survey numbers. He submits that the patta was transferred, without notice to the petitioner, on 08.03.2021 in the name of the 4th respondent. In spite of raising the ground of contravention of principles of natural justice, learned counsel submits that neither the Revenue Divisional Officer nor the District Revenue Officer interfered with the order of the Tahsildar. 3. Learned Government Advocate accepts notice for the respondents 1 to 3. He submits that the challenge is in relation to concurrent orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer and the District Revenue Officer. 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 4. The admitted position is that the petitioner was heard both by the Revenue Divisional Officer and the District Revenue officer.
