No entries have been found in respect of subject land in favour of petitioner either in DKT register or in assignment particulars and there are no records found reflecting the assignment made in respect of the petitioner. 7. However, the petitioner’s name was recorded and manual Adangal (Fasli 1423) and also in 1B pertaining to the subject lands but it is noticed that the petitioner’s name is struck off and cancelled by the then Tahsildar, Atlur Mandal.

Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Interim order 6 if any, deemed to have been vacated. There shall be no order as to costs.
