2. By consent of both parties, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

¶26

3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that his representation dated 04.04.2018 seeking to measure his land comprised in Survey Nos.1074/3B, 1074/5B, 1074/5D and 1064/6A measuring an extent of 0.80.00 Hectare, of Nadumandulam Village, Natham Taluk, Dindigul District, has not been considered by the respondents 3 and 4 till date and therefore, he has filed the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ present writ petition.

¶27

¶28

4. This Court has not expressed any of its view with regard

¶29

to the merits of the representation made by the petitioner. It is needless to point out that whenever a representation of this nature is made, the respondents are duty bound to consider the same in one way or the other. Non-consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of ordinary duties of their office and as such, this Court would be justified in invoking its powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct them to consider the petitioner's representation within a stipulated time.

¶30

5. In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, there shall be a direction to the third and fourth respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 04.04.2018 on its own merits and take further action in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Such an exercise shall be done after giving due opportunity to the petitioner as well as to the persons who may be interested in the subject land.

¶31

6. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
