The petitioner's father had died on 20.03.1991, leaving behind the petitioner, his brothers and sisters as legal heirs to succeed his property. Hence, the petitioner made a representation on https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

10.11.2020 before the respondent to issue Patta in favour of the legal heirs of the petitioner's father.
