Quick Summary: Velusamy from Tiruppur filed a case to remove 14 names from his property document. The court has asked the officials to review his request within four months.

The Case Begins

On January 22, 2026, the High Court in Madras, under Judge Abdul Quddhose, heard a request from Velusamy. He lives in Thirumuruganpoondi, Tiruppur, and was having trouble with his property document, known as a "patta."

What's the Problem?

Velusamy noticed that 14 names were wrongly included in his Patta No.199. He wanted these names removed and had already submitted an online application on December 15, 2025, but nothing happened.

"The person who filed the case claims that the names listed from 1 to 14 in his Patta No.199 were added by mistake."

Court's Decision

Judge Abdul Quddhose didn't decide if the names should be removed. Instead, he told the Revenue Divisional Officer in Tiruppur North to make a decision based on the facts.

What Happens Next?

The court ordered that Velusamy's application should be reviewed. The officials must listen to objections from those 14 people and anyone else involved. They have four months from receiving the court order to finish this process.

"This Court directs the 2nd respondent to make a final decision based on the facts and rules."

Final Paragraph

The court has instructed the officials to carefully look into Velusamy's request and the concerns of others involved. They have four months to make a final decision.
