0.90 hectares of land in S.No.390/9B1 in Akkiyampatty Village, Palayapalayam Post, Marungapuri Taluk, Trichy District under a registered Sale Deed dated 23.07.1950. After the death of the petitioner's grandfather patta was transferred in favour of the petitioner's father only in respect of 0.24 hectares instead of a total extent of 0.90 hectares. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted a representation before the respondents on 03.06.2025 seeking issuance of patta in respect of entire land purchased by his grandfather. The said representation has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.

¶30

The learned Government Advocate who takes notice for the respondents would submit that the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 03.06.2025 will be considered on its own merits within the time stipulated by this Court.
