Heard.

It is the case of the petitioner that he is the owner of a land admeasuring 0.31 R from Survey No.1/4B+5 situated at Village Pendhar, Taluka Panvel, District Raigad. As per the Revenue Records, this land is shown to have been included in an award passed on 7th September 2006. 3.

The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that this entry has been incorrectly taken and the subject land was not part of the acquired land. The Deputy Collector on 19th January 2013 has furnished such information to the petitioner. The petitioner therefore seeks deletion of the reference to the acquisition of the aforesaid land from other rights column. 1/2 11-WP-4869-2025.doc Dixit
