Heard Mr. Tripathi, learned Advocate for Petitioners and Ms. Jadhav, learned AGP for Respondent - State.

2.

The grievance expressed by Petitioner is that long standing revenue entries namely Mutation Entry standing in the name of Petitioner has been erased and name of legal heirs of private Respondents arrayed as Respondent Nos.5 to 15 have been mutated in revenue record concerning the subject property. 3.

Mr. Tripathi refers to and relies upon letter of allotment appended at page No.28 which is the contentious Mutation Entry which prima facie records that under Government Resolution dated 26.08.1969, the Forest and Revenue Department of the Government is allotted to father of Petitioners the subject land which is reflected therein below.
