2. The order impugned explicitly refers to a suit in O.S.No.599 of 2010 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Thirumangalam. Since the said suit is pending between the parties, it would not be proper to take any decision and pass any orders in respect of entitlement of patta. It is also accepted by the Counsel on both sides that the said suit is still pending and that is listed for further hearing on 27.01.2023.
