property to the petitioner in the year 1993. The grievance of the petitioner is that though property purchased by the petitioner is a patta land, the land was wrongly classified as Sarkar Nanjai and the vendor of the petitioner has already been issued patta to the said land. In this regard the petitioner has given a representation to the first and second respondents to rectify the said mistake and issue patta to the petitioner. However, no action has been taken by them till date. Hence the present Writ Petition.
