A reading of the representation submitted by the petitioner reveals that the petitioner has not specifically stated what are all the errors in the FMB sketches are. Though a vague statement has been made as if there is a contradiction between the Natham Patta and the FMB sketches, the petitioner has not specifically mentioned what the contradiction is and what error in the FMB sketches is sought to be rectified. 3. In view of the above, I am not inclined to issue any direction to the respondents to consider the representation, which is very vague in nature. Therefore, this Writ Petition stands dismissed. However, it is open 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD)No.23132 of 2026 to the petitioner to submit a fresh representation seeking correction of the specific errors in the FMB sketches, if any.
