on the file of the Sub Registrar, Katpadi 632 007. After purchase of the property, the petitioner had built apartments and a few shops after obtaining proper permision from the authorities. The petitioner requested the fourth respondent through his letter dated 25.05.2007, to issue a separate and individual Sub Division Patta in respect of the subject property.

Therefore, the petitioner prayed this Court to dispose of the representation dated 25.05.2007 by the fourth respondent, for surveying and measuring of the House Site Property as per Patta Nos.1905 and 1907 in Survey Nos.314/2A and 314/3A in Kalinjure Village, Katpadi Taluk, Vellore District and issue a separate and individual Patta after the sub-division based on the Registered Document No.2108 of 1984 on the file of the Sub Registrar, Katpadi 632 007.
