2. It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased the subject property under a registered sale deed dated 30.08.1979 and based on the said sale deed, he filed an application before the third respondent seeking mutation of revenue records. However, the request of the petitioner was rejected by the third respondent on the ground that the subject land was classified as Aanathinam even prior to UDR updation. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner is before this Court.

¶30

3. A perusal of the sale deed in favour of the petitioner would suggest that even in the sale deed the land is described as Nanjai Aanadhinam land. Against the order passed by the third respondent, the petitioner has appeal remedy before the second respondent. Further against the order passed by the second respondent, the petitioner has remedy of revision before the first respondent.

¶31

4. In view of the effective alternative remedy available, this Court

¶32

is not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition. Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands dismissed with the liberty to file appeal before the second respondent.
