favour of Late Rama Kanta Sarma i.e. the father of the petitioner. The father of the petitioner duly paid the premium amount, determined by the State respondents for the subject-plot, to the State respondents. Thereafter, in the draft chitha prepared for the year 1957-1964, the receipt of the premium amount in respect of the subject-plot was duly recorded. As per the draft chitha, the subject-plot was converted to Miyadi Patta land from Government land by creating a new Dag no. 280 and Khiraj Periodic Patta no. 280 out of the original Dag no. 1071. It is the case of the petitioner that the father of the petitioner was in continuous occupation of the subject-plot till his death and after his death, the same has been under occupation and possession of the family members of the petitioner. The petitioner was under the impression that as the premium for the subject-plot was duly paid as far back as in the year 1961, the revenue records would reflect the name of the petitioner. But when the petitioner checked the revenue records after the death of his father, it came to his knowledge that the status of the subject-plot in the revenue records has not yet been corrected by the respondent authorities. Having come to learn about the said position, the petitioner had preferred an application before the respondent no. 5 on 17.03.2022 seeking correction in respect of the subject-plot in the revenue records with insertion the petitioner’s name in place of his deceased father’s name. The respondent no. 5 though called for a report from the respondent no. 6, no progress seemed to have taken in respect of the petitioner’s application seeking mutation in his name against the subject-plot in place of his deceased father’s name.
