ORDER

The petitioner seeks limited relief of disposing of his representation, dated 06.12.2022 which was filed for rectification of the error in the patta issued to the petitioner.

2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials placed before this Court. 3.The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the passage of more than two years, there has been no positive steps taken by the second respondent to enquire into the matter and pass order. Hence, the instant writ petition.

The said representation has not been acted upon till date.
