R.Govindaraj v. The District Collector

ORDER This writ petition has been filed seeking to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 06.04.2023 and consequently to do the necessary rectifications in the revenue records in S.Nos. 168/11, 168/12, 168/16 and 168/17.

2.When the matter is taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner.

3.The case of the petitioner is that the survey numbers of the petitioner property has been wrongly entered as S.Nos.168/11 and 168/12 instead of S.Nos.168/16 and 168/17 during the purchase of the subject land. However, the petitioner is cultivating and in possession of the subject land. Hence, he made a representation to correct the survey numbers in respect of the subject property. Since the same was not considered by the respondents this writ petition has been filed.

4.Learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 5 would submit that in the present case there is a mistake in the survey numbers in the sale deed of the subject property. Under this circumstances, the petitioner has made a representation to rectify the survey numbers as 168/16 and 168/17 instead of 168/11, 168/12 in the revenue records. He would further submit that unless and otherwise the survey numbers are rectified in the sale deed, no rectification can be made in the revenue records.

5.Heard the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 5 and perused the materials available on record.

6.As rightly contended by the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, the survey numbers of the petitioner's property can be rectified in the revenue records only if the same is rectified in the sale deed of the subject property. However, since there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner, recording the submissions made by the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, this writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. It is made clear that it is up to the petitioner to rectify the survey numbers in the sale deed and thereafter to approach the respondents to rectify the same in the revenue records.
