By consent, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal, at the admission stage itself. 3.The petitioner would state that the land to an extent of 2.75 Ares in S.No.92/7 situated at Kazhukurani village originally belongs to his mother. After her demise, the petitioner and his brothers and sisters have approached the Tahsildar, Ramanathapuram for mutation of their names in the revenue records and the same was mutated by the Deputy Tahsildar, Ramanathapuram. In the year 2015, when the petitioner checked the revenue records regarding the land in S.No.92/7 through Tamil Nadu Government Website, he became aware that the extent of the above land was reduced as 0.56 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
