petitioner has been enjoying the said lands by paying all the taxes and by doing cultivating operation. Now, almost 38 years have gone from the date of assignment. All the conditions mentioned in the assignment order have also been complied with. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has sent several representations to the respondents for grant of patta and the last such representation is dated 24.09.2018, but, till date the respondents did not take any action on the same. Therefore, the petitioner has come up with this writ petition.

The learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, on instruction, would submit that the representation of the petitioner, dated 24.09.2018, will be considered by the first respondent forthwith.

It is seen from the record that the petitioner has not submitted his representation, dated 24.09.2018, along with relevant records like, assignment order, legal heir certificate, etc. Considering the above and also considering the limited relief sought for by the petitioner, this Court, without going into the merits of the case, directs the petitioner to submit a fresh representation, along with a copy of the relevant documents, including a copy of the Legal Heirship Certificate, to the first respondent, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On receipt of such representation, the first respondent shall consider the same and after giving sufficient opportunity to the petitioner, pass appropriate order on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks thereafter.
