3.

Mr. Dash, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that Mutation Case No.25 of 2021 was filed on the basis of a Will executed in favour of the Petitioner.

Taking into consideration the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, this Court directs the Tahasildar, Thakurmunda-Opposite Party No.3 to issue corrected R.O.R. in respect of the land more fully described under Annexure-1 in favour of the Petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of one month from the date of production of certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment.
