¶24

According to the petitioner, the above mentioned property with an extent of 3.79 Ares was purchased by him under a registered Sale Deed dated 10.12.2021. In the patta issued to the petitioner, the extent of the petitioner is wrongly mentioned as 3 Ares instead of 3.79 Ares, therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation before the respondents on 27.05.2022, seeking correction of patta with regard to the extent. The same has not been considered and hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.

¶25

The learned Government Advocate who appeared for the
