4.It is seen that the grievance of the petitioner is that even though such direction was issued by the first respondent to measure the land and consider the request of the petitioner for correcting the revenue records, the second respondent has not taken any steps so far. Therefore, this Court, without expressing any view on the claim made by the petitioner, only directs the second respondent to consider the representations of the petitioner, dated 17.06.2013 and 26.09.2016 and pass orders on the same on merits and in accordance with law, after giving due opportunity of hearing to the rival claimants, if any. Such exercise shall be done by the second respondent within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
