Vide Memo dated 30.5.2019 of the office of Collector, petitioner was informed that the file bearing No.I3/178/1999 is not available and therefore, the information requested cannot be furnished. Further, vide endorsement dated 19.8.2019 of the Joint Collector, petitioner was informed that as verified with the available records, the details of application for regularization of subject land is not available and therefore requested the petitioner to furnish copies of all relevant documents filed if any for regularization in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166 dated 16.2.2008 so as to take further course of action.
