The present writ petition is filed praying for a writ of mandamus to direct respondents as requested by the petitioner by his representation dated 18.12.2020 to remove the wrong entry made in the revenue record in respect of petitioner's property comprised in S.No.122/1 wrongly merging with S.No.45/8, which is gramanatham, S.No.292/1C which is wrongly mentioned as S.Nos.292/1C.1 and S.No.292/3 wherein one Krishnappa is wrongly included.
3. The case of the petitioner is that he submitted a representation dated 18.12.2020 before the respondents seeking for the aforesaid prayer.
