ORDER
1/3
This writ petition has been filed for the issue of a writ of mandamus directing the second respondent to act upon the representation made by the petitioner on 25.03.2014, wherein, the petitioner is seeking for certain corrections in the revenue records.
2. The grievance of the petitioner is that during the UDR scheme, the revenue authorities have wrongly inserted the name of the fourth respondent in the revenue records and according to the petitioner, the fourth respondent does not have any right or title over the subject property. The petitioner, therefore, made a representation to the second respondent on 25.03.2014 seeking for necessary corrections in the revenue records. Since the same was not acted upon, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court seeking for appropriate directions.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents.
4.Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and the limited relief sought for in this writ petition and without going into the merits of the case, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the representation made by the petitioner on 25.03.2014, after affording an opportunity to the petitioner and the fourth respondent and a decision shall be taken strictly in accordance with law within twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
5. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs.
