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, the Revenue authorites has to consider the 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 second respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders, on the representation of the petitioner, dated 27.02.2015, on merits and in accordance with law, after giving notice to the interested parties and also after verifying the relevant records, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

With the above direction, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs.
