2. The petitioner is claiming right over the subject properties. Originally, the properties belonged to the petitioner’s great-grandfather, namely Maruthai, who had three sons, namely Vallan, Palaniyandi, and Sarabathi. The said Vallan had only one son, namely Maruthai, who is the petitioner’s father. The petitioner is the son of the said Maruthai. After the demise of the petitioner’s greatgrandfather, his three sons executed a registered partition deed dated 25.08.1995 vide Document No. 1510 of 1995, under which the ‘A’ Schedule property was allotted to the petitioner’s father. After the demise of the petitioner’s father, the petitioner, being the sole legal heir, inherited the said property. Hence, the petitioner seeks issuance of a separate patta in his name. The petitioner has also submitted the death certificate, legal heir certificate, and other relevant documents
