Case brief
What is this about?
Review petition maintainability; Order 47 Rule 1 with Section 114 Code of Civil Procedure; non-joinder of necessary parties; inadequate time at admission; error apparent on the face of the record; no new fact; writ of mandamus under Article 226; grant of patta; Survey No. 90/1, 2, 56/5; Senkadu, Thalaisolai village, Yercaud Taluk, Salem District; Adi Dravidar Welfare; Schedule Tribe Welfare Department; District Collector Salem; representations dated 21.08.2018, 05.04.2022, 29.09.2023, 12.11.2024; government officials as review petitioners; review dismissed, no costs; Madras High Court; P.T. Asha J.; 11-06-2026.
What did the court decide?
The plea of non-joinder was not taken at the time of hearing the writ petition, nor was any request made for filing a counter, since the writ petition was one for a mandamus directing the review petitioners themselves to grant patta.
