On coming to know about the same, the first petitioner has periodically sent representations to the first respondent for survey of the land and to rectify the mistake committed by the second respondent from 2009 onwards and the last of such representation was made on 06.10.2015 and since no action has been taken so far, the petitioner has come forward with this petition.
