As noted above, the petitioner’s grievance is that the said representation is not being disposed of. If the allegations made by the petitioner are correct, respondent No.1 is required to take a serious note of the grievance of the petitioner because a tank bed cannot be permitted to be converted for the purpose of granting pattas.

He shall complete this exercise within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of.
