What did the court decide?
On the counter filed by the fifth respondent and the submissions of the learned Government Advocate for respondents 1 to 6, the direction sought for in the writ petition (issuance of separate patta) cannot be considered, because the petitioner and adjacent land owners failed to appear during the survey, the subject land was found not to be in the petitioner's enjoyment, and a second appeal (SA.No.SR56269 of 2016) is pending before this Court in respect of the very same property.
