Arjun Chowdhary, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3. It is the case of the Writ Petitioner that the Writ Petitioner has filed an Appeal bearing Rev.Appeal No.RORB/2009/2024 before the RDO (Respondent No.2). It is submitted that along with the said Appeal, the Writ Petitioner has filed an Interlocutory Application, seeking stay of the operation of the entries made in the Revenue Record in favour of the Unofficial Respondent Nos.4 to 7 herein. It is the contention of the learned Counsel for the Writ Petitioner that the said Interlocutory Application has not been numbered so far and that the Writ Petitioner apprehends that the mutation already done in favour of the Unofficial Respondents herein, may be misused by them, by creating third-party rights. 2. 3.
