However, when the OnLine patta was given, the name of the petitioner was deleted. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation in this regard for adding his name as a joint patta holder. On receipt of the representation, the petitioner was also called for an enquiry by the Tahsildar and the petitioner attended the enquiry. Thereafter, there was no progress. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court. 2/4
