Quick Summary: On January 27, 2026, the Madras High Court, led by Judge Abdul Quddhose, instructed that a special land ownership document be issued for a piece of land in Krishnagiri District. The case involves B.R. Ramamoorthy, who wants official recognition for his land purchase from 1997.
B.R. Ramamoorthy filed a request in the Madras High Court on January 27, 2026. He wanted the court to tell local officials in Hosur, Krishnagiri District, to issue a special land ownership document for his land in Moornapalli village. This land, measuring 1526 square feet, was bought on April 7, 1997.
Ramamoorthy submitted his application for the document on September 8, 2025. However, he claimed that he didn't get any response from the local land officers in Hosur Taluk. This lack of action led him to ask the court for help.
Judge Abdul Quddhose looked into the request. The court did not make any negative decisions against Neelamma and Prema, who were also involved. Instead, the court told the second person in charge, the local land officer, to make a decision on Ramamoorthy's application within 12 weeks.
The court made it clear that the local land officer should consider any objections from Neelamma, Prema, or anyone else concerned during the decision process. The court did not give an opinion on whether Ramamoorthy's request was right or wrong, leaving it to the local officials to decide.
The court has instructed the local land officer to decide on Ramamoorthy's request for the special land ownership document within 12 weeks, after considering any objections from others involved.
