Petitioner sought mandamus to enter her name in revenue records after a regularization committee recommended grant and a Saguvali Chit was issued in 2004 but mutation was not done. The court directed the Tahsildar to verify the records and, if the grant is confirmed, mutate her name within two months.

Thereafter, Saguvali Chit was also issued in favour of the petitioner on 31.07.2004. However the name of the petitioner has not been entered in the revenue records.
