petition seeking not to issue patta in favour fourth respondent as though the official respondents are taking steps to change the patta. Even now, the patta stands in the name of the petitioner and therefore, if any such decision is taken, then definitely the petitioner would be put on notice and only thereafter, final decision would be taken for change of name in the patta. He has also produced a copy of Patta No.522, whereby it is seen that even now the patta stands in the name of the petitioner in respect of the property in question. The said submission is recorded.

3. In view of the aforesaid submission, nothing survives in the writ petition and accordingly, it is dismissed. No Costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
