The case of the petitioner is that the subject property is the ancestral property and he is in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the same. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the fifth respondent has given an application before the third respondent requesting to survey the land and issue UDR patta. In this regard, the petitioner has made representations on 16.05.2024 and 03.06.2024 before the respondents 2 and 3 to cancel the patta issued in favour of the fifth respondent. However, the same has not been considered by the respondents 2 and 3. Hence, the present Writ Petition.
