For Respondents : Mr.K.Balasubramani Special Government Pleader O R D E R An order dated 05.06.2025 of the Zonal Deputy Tahsildar is challenged in this Writ Petition primarily on the ground that the order is unreasoned. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner invited my attention to the application for subdivision reflecting Application No.2025/N 105/28/004679. By contrast, he points out that the impugned order bears the Application No.2025/N103/28/022896.

Learned Special Government Pleader accepts notice for all the respondents. He submits that the matter may be remanded for fresh consideration. 4. On perusal of the impugned order, apart from the discrepancy relating to the application number, I find that the reason for rejection is recorded as “Gyj;jpy; vy;iyfs;/cupik njhlu;ghd gpur;rid cs;sJ'. No particulars are provided as to the nature of the title dispute or boundary dispute or whether both these issues are present as regards the petitioner's application. Being a completely unreasoned order, the order cannot be sustained and is hereby set aside. As a consequence, the matter is remanded to the Tahsildar for reconsideration. After providing a reasonable opportunity to the petitioner and the other current pattadars, a speaking order shall be issued within three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. This Writ Petition is disposed of on these terms. No costs. 3/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No. 33057 of 2025 Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
