Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Inasmuch as the petitioner is claiming to have derived the property by virtue of partition deed dated 15.10.1993, and having regard to the fact that the respondents in spite of receiving the legal notice dated 10-6-2004 got issued by the petitioner, failed to respond, without going into merits of the writ petition, I deem it proper to dispose of the writ petition with following directions: The petitioner shall submit a fresh application to the first respondent for issuance of Pattedar passbook and title deed in respect of the share of property, which he claims to have derived under a partition deed dated 15.10.1993.
