Summary: The High Court in Madras has instructed the Revenue Divisional Officer of Thiruvallur to look into a request to cancel a land document within 12 weeks. The case involves a request by Rajeshbabu against the District Collector and others.
Rajeshbabu filed a request using a legal provision that allows people to ask courts to make government officials do their jobs. He asked the court to direct the Revenue Divisional Officer in Thiruvallur to review his request from November 2, 2025. He wants the cancellation of a land document issued to someone named Annamalai.
The case was heard by Justice Abdul Quddhose on January 22, 2026. The court ordered the Revenue Divisional Officer to consider Rajeshbabu’s request. They must review it carefully and according to the law, including any objections from Annamalai or other people involved.
The court has set a deadline for this process. The Revenue Divisional Officer must make a decision within 12 weeks from receiving the court's order. This ensures that the case is handled quickly.
Rajeshbabu was represented by Mr. P. Arumugavel, while Mr. D. Ravichander, a Special Government Pleader, appeared for the official respondents. The court decided not to notify Annamalai since no negative decisions were made against him in this request.
This case shows how the court system works to solve property disputes and make sure government officials act quickly.
