ORDER This writ petition has been filed seeking for a direction to the second respondent to cancel the pattas issued in the name of the respondents 5 to 7 for the property, morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition, based on the petitioner's representation dated 16.12.2024 within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.
