order was passed on 24.09.2022. Petitioner challenged the mutation order of the Tehsildar before the Court of Finance Commissioner in Revision Case No. 01/2023 titled as Ram Rati v. Nawab Ali & Ors. By an order dated 06.04.2023, the Finance Commissioner set aside the order of the Tehsildar with a finding that the order is without jurisdiction and therefore non-est in law, in view of the fact that the village Bakhtawarpur, where the land is situated was urbanised vide notification dated 22.11.2019 under Section 507(a) of The Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 and the judgment of the Supreme Court in Mohinder Singh (Dead) through LRs and Another v. Narain Singh and Others, 2023 SCC OnLine SC 261 . A copy of this order was furnished to the Tehsildar along with an application dated 04.10.2023, requesting to delete the entries made in the revenue record on the basis of the earlier order dated 24.09.2022 which had been set aside by the Finance Commissioner. It is urged by the Petitioner that a representation was also submitted later on 09.10.2023, however, neither the application nor the representation has been decided, compelling the Petitioner to approach this Court.
