ORDER

This writ petition has been filed to cancel patta No.218 for the property

morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition standing in the name of

the father of the respondents 5 and 6, one late Balaraman Pillai based on the

petitioner’s representation dated 03.11.2025 within a time frame to be fixed by

this Court.

2. The petitioner claims that the father of the respondents 5 and 6 was

erroneously and illegally issued patta No.218 for the property morefully

described in the prayer to this writ petition. The petitioner seeks for cancellation

of patta No.218 standing in the name of one late Balaraman Pillai, who is the

father of the respondents 5 and 6. Since the petitioner’s representation dated

03.11.2025, seeking for cancellation of patta No.218 standing in the name of

late Balaraman Pillai, was not considered by the third respondent, the petitioner

has filed this writ petition.

3. Mr. R.P.Murugan Raja, learned Government Advocate accepts notice

on behalf of the respondents 1 to 4. Since no adverse orders are passed against

the respondents 5 and 6, notice to the respondents 5 and 6 is dispensed with by

this Court.

4. No prejudice would be caused to the respondents if the petitioner’s

representation dated 03.11.2025, seeking for cancellation of patta No.218
