“11. That vide the said order dated 15.02.2023, necessary corrections were directed and implemented in the Online Register-II with respect to the name of the petitioner's grandfather and father. The corrected entries are available and visible in the online record.
15. That it is further respectfully submitted that subsequent to the reasoned
order dated 15.02.2023, the office of the Circle Officer, Argora has again examined the matter and passed a latest order dated 25.01.2025, reaffirming the corrections already carried out in the online Register-II and reiterating that with respect to the area of land, there exist conflicting entries in old records, which cannot be rectified at the administrative level.

again records that any modification in land area requires adjudication by a competent Civil Court before any further rectification is made in Register- II.”
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the opposite party no. 2 has not made the required corrections in the online Register-II with respect to the land in question keeping in view the entries made in the physical Register-II.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the aforesaid show cause affidavit filed on behalf of the opposite party no. 2, this Court is of the view that no case of contempt is made out against the opposite party no. 2. The contempt proceeding as against the opposite party no. 2 is hereby dropped.
5. The present contempt case stands disposed of.
6. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to take appropriate recourse as available under law for redressal of his subsisting grievance. (Rajesh Shankar, J.) Vikas/
