After the purchase of the above said property, the petitioner applied for patta and also obtained the same. However, it is alleged by the petitioner that the patta which was provided for possessory value does not provide the entire extent as purchased by him and further to an extent of about 200 sq.ft was reduced in the total extent of 1825 sq.ft area of land. Hence, the petitioner made representation to the respondents 1 to 3 on several occasion for rectifying the wrong calculation in measurement of land with a reduced area of 200 sq.ft in a total extent of about 1825 sq.ft, however the same were not considered and there is no proper reply till date.
