Quick Summary: A court case in Salem involves Marimuthammal, who wants a land record corrected. The court has ordered a review of her request.
On January 27, 2026, the High Court at Madras, led by Judge Abdul Quddhose, heard a case filed by Marimuthammal, also known as Kuppayammal or Kuppammal. The case was against the District Revenue Divisional Officer and others in Salem. Marimuthammal claims there’s a mistake in the land records for her property in Muthunaickenpatti Village, Omalur Taluk, Salem District.
Marimuthammal says the land record wrongly lists her property as 2.60 acres instead of 2.72 acres. She has a sale document from April 5, 1976, to support her claim. On December 9, 2025, she asked the authorities to fix this mistake, but they haven’t responded yet.
"The petitioner claims that she is the owner of the subject property."
Judge Abdul Quddhose decided that the authorities must review Marimuthammal’s request. They have to consider her documents and listen to any objections from nearby landowners. The court gave them 12 weeks to do this.
"No harm will be caused to the respondents if the aforesaid request of the petitioner is considered."
The District Revenue Divisional Officer in Salem must now handle Marimuthammal’s request carefully. They need to check if her claim is valid and make any necessary corrections.
The court has ordered a review of Marimuthammal’s land record request. The authorities have 12 weeks to consider her documents and any objections from others before making a decision.
