(vii) In these circumstances, on 01.07.2016, the petitioner applied for issuance of individual Patta in respect of the land allotted to him, before the second respondent, enclosing all the relevant documents, including, the Judgments and Decrees of the Civil Courts, Will, house tax receipt etc. Initially, when no order was passed by the second respondent, the petitioner approached this Court by filing a writ petition in W.P.(MD) No.23770 of 2016 seeking a direction to the second respondent to issue individual Patta for the land in Survey No.1092, measuring an extent of 18 ½ Cents, allotted to him. This Court, by order dated 18.12.2016, disposed of the writ petition directing the second respondent to consider and dispose of the application submitted by the petitioner. Thereafter, since no order was passed by the second respondent pursuant to the directions of this Court in the aforesaid writ petition, a contempt petition in Cont.P.(MD) No.1037 of 2017 was filed by the petitioner and on receipt of notice in the contempt petition, the second respondent passed an order, dated 07.03.2017, rejecting the request of the petitioner on the ground that there was no evidence to prove that he is in possession and enjoyment of the subject land, particularly, in view of the fact that he is residing with his family in Kalpakkam and not in Thirukurungudi Village, wherein the subject land is situated.
