It is submitted that mutation has been effected already and the petitioner has availed a loan of Rs.4 lakhs from the Federal Bank Ltd, Puramattom Branch after mortgaging the property as evidenced by Exhibit P2. Subsequently, the petitioner came to know when she came back to Kerala that, by proceedings dated 01.06.2007, the 4th respondent had cancelled the mutation in respect of the petitioner's properties on the ground that there is a mistake in the survey number in title deeds.

There will be a direction to the District Collector to pass appropriate orders, after hearing the petitioner and after considering the correction deed also, within a period of two months. A certified copy of the correction deed will be produced by the petitioner, if not already produced, before the District Collector.
