respondent no.2 to mutate the khata of certain properties which are the subject matter of the writ petition in the name of the petitioner. The case of the petitioner is that, she is the owner of the properties concerned and she has made an application before respondent no.2 for change of khata into her name from that of her vendor. But as the same has not been considered, the present petition is filed.

¶32

Learned AGA also appearing for respondent no.2, upon instructions submits that the petitioner has made a physical application for change of khata. Presently, she is required to make an online application. If such an application is made along with all necessary particulars the same would be considered and appropriate orders would be passed.
