Disposed
S.Easwaran v. the Tahsildar
Madras HCWP/15875/2013
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Madras held that seeking a patta via a mere representation is insufficient under the Patta Passbook Act. The petitioner must file a formal application in the prescribed format before the competent authority to initiate an enquiry. The writ petition was disposed of without direction to consider the representation.
What did the court decide?
Petitioner directed to file a formal application in prescribed format; no further orders on costs or connected petition.
