140/4B, 141/1, and 140/4A1AA3A, located at Sakthi Nagar, Koothur Village, Manachanallur Taluk, Trichy District. Consequently, a direction is also sought to the 7th respondent, namely the Tahsildar, Manachanallur, to issue patta for the said extent of 1692 sq. ft.

¶31

The contention of the petitioner is that he purchased the property, bearing Plot No. 18, measuring an extent of 2240 sq. ft., on 29.11.2002, situated in the above-mentioned survey numbers. Subsequently, the Government of Tamil Nadu acquired an extent of 549 sq. ft. (i.e., 51 square meters) out of the total extent of 2240

¶32

sq. ft. (i.e., 208.103 square meters) on 15.03.2019 for the purpose of laying National Highways. Thus, the remaining extent of 1692 sq. ft. is left with the petitioner.

¶33

When the petitioner approached the Tahsildar, the 7th respondent informed him that he is entitled to patta only to the extent of 761.23 sq. ft. and not for the entire remaining extent of 1692 sq. ft. It was also stated that the 1st respondent has to issue a No Objection Certificate, after which the petitioner’s application would be considered. Hence, this writ petition has been filed.
