collateral security and issued a paper publication in daily

newspapers dated 21.08.2012. Pursuant thereto, the

petitioner purchased land admeasuring Ac.11.08 ½ cents

through a registered sale deed, dated 27.08.2013. By virtue

of Section 29 of State Financial Corporation Act, 1951,

respondent No.1 seized the property and the same was sold

to the petitioner, except the land in Sy.No.256/5A

admeasuring Ac.2.50 cents.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner had contended that

on observing physical possession, the property is found to be

divided into two parts. Apart from the land admeasuring

Ac.11.08½ cents situated in Sy.Nos.220/1, 256/2D, 256/4,

and 256/5B, there exists another piece of land in

Sy.No.256/5A admeasuring Ac.2.50 cents. The said land lies

between Sy.Nos.256/4 and 256/5B, causing obstruction and

difficulty in access. Therefore, the petitioner is willing to

purchase the said land in Sy.No.256/5A from respondent

No.1. As per the revenue records, Sy.No.256/5 measures

Ac.5.00 cents and is subdivided into Sy.No.256/5A

admeasuring Ac.2.50 cents and Sy.No.256/5B admeasuring

Ac.2.50 cents. Sy.No.256/5B stands in the name of the

petitioner, while Sy.No.256/5A stands in the name of

respondent Nos.2 & 3. Accordingly, the petitioner submitted

a representation to respondent No.1 seeking permission to

purchase the land admeasuring Ac.2.50 cents in

Sy.No.256/5A, situated at K. Krishnapuram Village and

Panchayat Board, Palladam Taluk (Panchayat Union),

Tiruppur District, Tamil Nadu. However, the said

representation has not been considered. Hence, the Writ

Petition.

5. On the other hand, learned counsel for respondent No.1

contended that respondent No.1 grants loans under the

provisions of the State Financial Corporations Act, 1951, and

that the petitioner has no privity of contract with respondent

No.1. It was further contended that only respondent Nos.2

and 3 are liable to respondent No.1 and, therefore, the

petitioner has no locus standi to seek the relief prayed for.

Hence, there are no merits in the Writ Petition and the same

is liable to be dismissed.

keeping in view the limited grievance of the petitioner that his

purchase the remaining bit of land as well (i.e., Ac.2-50 cents
