Full Judgment
(Prayer: Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, praying for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the third respondent to issue patta in favour of the petitioner with respect to properties in S.No.266/3 to an extent of 1.48 cents, S.No.267/8 to an extent of 86 cents, S.No.267/7 to an extent of 77 cents, S.No.269/3 to an extent of 88 cents and S.No.269/5 an extent of 51 cents totally an extent of acre 4 and 78 cents situated at Vellakulathu patti, Ayyan Reddiapatti Village, Manapparai Taluk, Trichy District.)
1. The petitioner sought for change of patta in his name in respect of the land under dispute and the said request was rejected earlier on 09.02.2011 by the Tashildar, Manapparai, the third respondent herein. Challenging the said rejection, the petitioner filed a writ petition before this Court in W.P(MD)No.8061 of 2011, wherein, an order came to be passed on 12.06.2012 quashing the said order of rejection and remitting the matter back to the Tashildar to pass fresh orders, within a period of eight weeks.
2. Now, it is contended that even though the Tashildar has conducted an enquiry, final order has not been passed so far.
3. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that a time frame may be fixed for the Tashildar to pass the final order.
4. Accordingly, without expressing any view on the claim made by the petitioner, I only direct the third respondent to pass final order, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
5. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
