5. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents would submit that the representation of the petitioner will be considered in accordance with law and on merits.
6. Though the petitioner has sought for a Mandamus for the issuance of separate patta, issuing patta is nothing but giving recognition of the lands possessed by the applicant. It is one of the essential documents for sale of the property in question. Hence, while issuing patta to the applicant, the Revenue authorities has to consider each and every aspect involved for the grant of patta, as it may very much affect the innocent owner. Hence, without going into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner in this Writ Petition, the *third respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders, on the representation of the petitioner, dated 24.04.2015, on merits and in accordance with law, after giving notice to the interested parties and also after verifying the relevant records as on date, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
