on 28.10.2015 to the 2nd respondent to scale down the property and issue separate subdivided patta in the name of the legal heirs of her husband, in respect of the property, which belong to her husband, with necessary mutations in the revenue records. As the said request has not been considered, the petitioner has come forward with the present writ petition. 3.
