JUDGMENT

The petitioners say that they are the owners in possession of the property covered by Ext.P2, but that when they approached the 1st respondent – Tahsildar for its transfer of Registry in their favour and for remitting the land tax, it has been rejected through Ext.P11 saying that the said property is exclusively comprised within Survey No. 246/1A, but that it is not in their possession.

2. The petitioners say that the statements in Ext.P11, that the property in question is in the possession of respondent 4 to 8, are without basis and that this is evident from Exts.P12 and P13 Tax Receipts and Possession Certificates, in which both Survey Nos.246/1A and 246/1B are reflected. They, therefore, pray that Ext.P7 be set aside and the 1st respondent – Tahsildar, be directed to allow their application for the transfer of Registry of the property and for remittance of land tax thereon, without any further delay.

3. The afore submissions of Sri.G.Hariharan –

learned counsel for the petitioners, were answered by Smt.M. Anima – learned Government Pleader, saying that, as is evident from Ext.P11, the Tahsildar made an enquiry to find that the property involved is confined to Survey No.246/
