ORAL ORDER
This petition is filed for a writ in the nature of mandamus to the respondent No.2 to consider the representations of the petitioner dated 13.11.2024 and 01.01.2025. 2. The petitioner claims to be the owner of a residential site bearing No.40 property bearing khaneshumari No.24/2/40, E-Khata No.150300700820019 (measuring East to West 12.192 Meters (40 feet) and North to South 9.144 Meters (30 feet) in total 111.48 sq.m.

representation dated 01.01.2025.
He contends that the respondent No.2 has not taken any steps to record his name in the eKhata in respect of the petition schedule property. The petitioner is, therefore, before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 3. When this petition is listed for preliminary hearing in ‘B’ group, the learned counsel for the respondent Nos.2 and 3 has filed a memo and has enclosed therewith the eKhata which is now recorded in the name of the petitioner in respect of the petition schedule property. In that view of the matter, this writ petition does not survive for consideration as the reliefs sought for by the petitioner are already granted by the respondent No.2. The Writ Petition stands disposed off on the above terms. Sd/- (R. NATARAJ) JUDGE SMA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 56
