By consent of learned counsel on both sides, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.

The present writ petition is filed praying for a writ of mandamus to direct the 3rd and 4th respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 07.02.2025 to rectify the mistake in the online extract in the Permanent Land Register and issue patta in the petitioner name in respect of the petitioner's property in S.F. No.4457 based on the revenue document.

It is further submitted that the petitioner had submitted a representation on 07.02.2025 requesting the respondents to rectify the mistake in the online extract of the Permanent Land Register. However, the petitioner's representation was not considered by the respondent till date, thus the present writ petition has been 2/5
