Summary: D. Ramalingam wins a court order for a land survey in Tiruppur after disputes with his brothers over shared property pathways and wells.
On December 20, 2024, the High Court in Madras, led by Judge P.T. Asha, looked at a request from D. Ramalingam. He wanted the court to order a land survey and mark boundaries in Kuttiyagoundanur Village, located in Udumalpet Taluk, Tiruppur District, to settle a family argument over land.
D. Ramalingam got the land through a family division, buying, and trading. However, he and his brothers couldn't agree on using a shared path and well. He tried to solve this by contacting local officials several times, specifically on March 12, May 15, and May 16, 2024, but got no reply. This made him turn to the court for help.
Judge P.T. Asha looked at the case and told local officials, like the Thasildar and Taluk Surveyor of Udumalpet Taluk, to do a survey. The court told them to look at D. Ramalingam's application, check his land papers, and inform nearby landowners, including his brothers, before starting.
"This task should be finished within 6 weeks from when this order is received."
The court agreed with D. Ramalingam's request and told the officials to finish the survey within six weeks. This decision is a big step towards settling the family land argument in Tiruppur.
