¶14

Mr.R.Govindasamy, learned Special Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents. By consent of the parties, these writ petitions are taken up for final disposal at the admission stage themselves.

¶15

In all these writ petitions, the respective writ petitioners are seeking for mandamus directing the respondents 3 and 4 to consider their representation dated 08.01.2018 and pass orders on the same, in the light of G.O.Ms.No.183, Cooperative, Food and Consumer Protection (CP 2) Department dated 19.09.2005, wherein and whereby, the petitioners seek for grant of Patta. For making such claim, the petitioners seek to rely upon the said G.O.Ms.No.183.

¶16

Needless to say that it is for the respondents 3 and 4 to consider the grievance of the petitioners and pass orders on the same on merits and in accordance with law. This Court, at this stage, is not expressing any view on the merits of the claim made by the petitioners. Accordingly, these writ petitions are disposed of, only by directing the fourth respondent to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 08.01.2018 and pass orders on the same on merits and in accordance with law, also by considering as to whether the petitioners would come under the purview of the said G.O.Ms.No.183 or not. Such exercise shall be done by the fourth respondent, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
