Mr.Annamalai, S/o Kolakaran along with three persons has executed a gift deed dated 12.10.2001 registered as document No.2378 of 2001 on the file of the Sub Registrar, Chengam in respect of 10 cents for the purpose of laying of road. In the said gift deed, the property admeasuring 10 cents in Survey No.74/4A was gifted in favour of the Government, namely, the Block Development Officer, Chengam, the third respondent herein. The first petitioner also has been issued with a joint patta in respect of the land covered in Survey No.74/4D of Melpennathur Village admeasuring 0.57 ares. It is also stated that the said joint patta has been issued in the names of three persons, namely, Santharaj, Annamalai and Murugan in respect of the land covered in Survey Nos.74/4A and 74/4D. But since the first petitioner is not the owner of the land in Survey No.74/4A, the gift deed has been executed gifting 10 cents in Survey No.74/4A, instead of Survey No.74/4D. After realising the mistake that the first petitioner is not the owner of the land in Survey No.74/4A, has come forward to rectify the same in the gift deed, so that the third respondent can enjoy the 10 cents in Survey No.74/4D. In this regard, the first petitioner has also given a representation dated 20.1.2017 to the respondents to consider the rectification of the mistake in the survey number in the gift deed dated 12.10.2001 registered as document No.2378 of 2001 on the file of the Sub Registrar, Chengam by deleting Survey No.74/4A and in lieu thereof, to include the Survey No.74/4D of Melpennathur Village. But till date, no such action has been taken. Therefore, the petitioners, being the father and son, have been advised to come to this Court with the above prayer, as the first petitioner has now gifted the land in Survey No.74/4D in favour of his son, the second petitioner.
