¶24

Subsequently, exclusive patta was issued in the name of the petitioner vide patta No.204. Thereafter, the name of the fourth respondent was included in the revenue documents, behind the back of the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner submitted an appeal before the first respondent on 08.06.2023, seeking deletion of the fourth respondent's name from the patta and restoration of exclusive patta in the name of the petitioner. The same has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.

¶26

In view of the same, without going into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, the first respondent is directed to consider the appeal submitted by the petitioner on 08.06.2023 and pass final orders on its own merits within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order, after issuing necessary notice to the petitioner and the fourth respondent.
