22.04.2025 passed by the first respondent, rejecting the petitioner's request for transfer of patta in his name for the property, morefully disclosed in the prayer to this writ petition on the ground that the petitioner has to submit an online application to enable the first respondent to consider the petitioner's request for grant of patta.

5.This Court is not expressing any opinion on the merits of the petitioner's application seeking for transfer of patta.

6.For the forgoing reasons, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the petitioner to submit a fresh online application with the first respondent seeking for transfer of patta in his name and also submit a written explanation to the first respondent stating as to how the petitioner is entitled for transfer of patta in his name for the property, morefully disclosed in the prayer to this writ petition along with the supporting documents, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
