Tirunelveli: The consumer grievances redressal forum in Tirunelveli district has directed the sub-registrar, tahsildar, corporation assistant commissioner and surveyor to pay Rs 20,000 as compensation to a consumer for deficiency in service by not providing patta transfer and not partitioning a property for which the complainant had paid the fees in September 2015.
Forum president K Devadass and members S Sivanmoorthi and M Muthulakshmi also directed the officials concerned to ensure that the patta transfer and sub-division work for which the petitioner approached the forum is done in a month’s time. The compensation includes Rs 15,000 fine and Rs 5,000 for legal expenses.
Advocate A Brammanayagam, who appeared for the petitioner Pathumuthu Joharal, 34, of Palayamkottai, said the petitioner paid Rs 23,225 for registering a piece of land in her name at the registrar office in Kokkirakulam, Tirunelveli, on September 4, 2015.
She also paid Rs 60 for name transfer but the process got delayed. A year after it was not done, she started legally approaching the issue and at this stage the papers moved from the office of the registrar to the tahsildar.
“The papers from the registrar office are to be sent to the taluk office, from where the tahsildar sends it to the assistant commissioner for Palayamkottai in Tirunelveli Corporation. It has to then be sent to the city surveyor. But all these did not take place and the petitioner suffered humiliation at various stages,” the counsel said.
