In order to buttress his submission, he has invited our attention to page 87, which is a communication issued by the Deputy Superintendent of Land Records to the petitioners, Annexure D to the petition, and submits that his grievance would be redressed if the authorities are directed to decide the issue regarding acquisition of land and grant of compensation.
