Summary: Muthu Mehrunnissa Begum and Sultana Begum want a piece of land officially recognized as theirs. The court has asked the local authorities to sort this out quickly.
On January 27, 2026, the Madras High Court, under Judge Abdul Quddhose, heard a case involving Muthu Mehrunnissa Begum and Sultana Begum. They filed a request asking for an official document that proves a specific part of land in Visharam Village, Walajah Taluk, Ranipet District, belongs to them.
A sub-division patta is an official paper that confirms a specific part of land is owned by someone. The petitioners applied for this on October 3, 2025, but hadn't received a response.
The court ordered the second person in charge, the Tahsildhar of Walaja Taluk, to make a decision about the application within 12 weeks. The decision must take into account any concerns from neighboring landowners and any other relevant people.
"No harm will come to the respondents if the online application is considered," said Judge Abdul Quddhose.
The court instructed the local authorities to act quickly and fairly. They must listen to all sides and make a decision soon, without expressing any opinion on whether the application is good or bad.
The court has directed the local authorities to make a decision on the land ownership application within 12 weeks, ensuring all parties involved are heard.
