2. The brief facts of the case as projected by the petitioner is that the plaintiff-Benjamin has filed suit for declaration, injunction and possession on the disputed land i.e. Khasra No.856/1 in Civil Suit No.29-A/1994, wherein the Civil Judge Class-I, Korba, has dismissed the suit on 17/01/1996. The said decree was challenged in First Civil Appeal No.5/A/1996 wherein the Additional District Judge, Korba reversed the judgment and decree of the trial Court and suit of the plaintiffs/respondents was decreed in their favour by
judgment and decree dated 28/03/2001. Thereafter, the petitioner/defendant challenged the judgment and decree dated 26/03/2001 before this Court in SA No.246/2001, which has been allowed and the judgment and decree dated 28/03/2001 has been set aside.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that after the
judgment passed by this Court, the petitioner made many written applications for correction in revenue records of Khasra No.856/1 before the concerned Tehsildar and Patwari Korba and on 27/06/2023 the petitioner has filed an application before the Collector Korba, however, till date the revenue records have not been corrected. He would therefore pray that the suitable directions may be issued to the concerned revenue authorities to correct the revenue records.
4. Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the submissions made by
learned counsel for the petitioner.

5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents.
6. For correction of revenue records, the petitioner should have filed an application under Section 110 of the C.G. Land Revenue Code, 1959 instead of filing a representation. Therefore, the petitioner would be at liberty to move appropriate application under Section 110 of the C.G. Land Revenue Code, 1959 before the concerned Tehsildar, if so desire, and on such application being filed, the same shall be considered and decided in accordance with law on its own merits.
7. Accordingly, the petitioner is disposed of the with the above observation. SD/- SD/- (Arvind Kumar Verma)
