According to the petitioner, he is in possession and enjoyment of the property in Survey No.Q1-53/3 on the basis of the order of assignment. The patta of the property was granted to him. The grievance of the petitioner is only on account of the failure on the part of the second respondent to mutate the entries in the revenue records. The petitioner appears to have given a representation on 03.06.2010. However, there was no follow-up action at the instance of the second respondent, which made the petitioner to file the present Writ Petition. 3.
