Per contra, learned Additional Government Pleader, inviting my attention to the order dated 09.02.2026, would state that the report of the Tahsildar confirmed the entitlement of hte petitioner only to S.No.123/2C and in respect of the other survey numbers, for nonfurnishing of documents, the Tahsildar has not recommended for necessary corrections. Learned Additional Government Pleader would invite my attention to the specific finding of the report of the Tahsildar.
