Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus directing revenue officers to measure her land. The court observed that since the land was purchased by her husband long ago and no patta was in her name, she must first obtain patta transfer before a survey can be conducted. The petition was disposed of accordingly.

What did the court decide?

The Writ Petition was disposed of with liberty to conduct survey only after the petitioner obtains patta transferred to her name.
