Aggrieved over the same, the petitioner has approached the revenue authorities. The revenue authorities have considered the petitioner's claim and passed a detailed order stating that adding Soundarapandian is inappropriate and therefore, directed to delete the same. The petitioner is having patta under UDR. The petitioner' name was placed in the UDR patta. Therefore, the impugned order is liable to be dismissed.
