The patta was also standing in the name of Abisegavalli. However, during the digitalization, the fifth respondent's name has been wrongly entered in the digital records of the patta. Therefore, a representation has been made to the respondents on 09.09.2024 to rectify the same. Alleging that no action is forthcoming, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.
2.Mr.B.Saravanan, learned Additional Government Pleader, takes notice for the official respondents and submitted that based on the petitioner's representation, the third respondent / Revenue Divisional Officer has commenced the enquiry and has also fixed the date of enquiry on 25.10.2024.
