Later the petitioners came to know that the names of their brother, his wife and daughters were entered in the possessor column of the revenue records in respect of the aforesaid properties which were gifted and bequeathed to the petitioners. Thereafter, petitioners made application to the respondents to delete the names of their brother's family, whose names were entered without following due procedure and to enter their names.

But the respondents did not take any action, as such, the petitioners sent a legal notice dated 09.06.2015 to the respondents. But, as no action is being taken, present writ petition is filed.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue.

Since it is stated that application of the petitioners for mutation of their names in the revenue records is pending before the 4th respondent, the 4th respondent is directed to dispose of the application of the petitioners in accordance with law after issuing notice to the affected parties within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the

petitioners.
