Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the very outset, has drawn the attention of the Court to Annexure VII. A perusal of the same reveals that a report was sought from the field staff, which discloses that a portion of land falling under Khasra No. 2258/405 has come under the occupation of the Police Post, Old Town, Baramulla. As per the revenue records, land measuring 3 kanals stands recorded in the name of the petitioner. However, on the spot, it was found that 2 kanals of land from the said survey number are under the occupation of the Police Post. 2. A detailed report by a constituted team is also annexed, which shows that the petitioner had executed a Special Power of Attorney in favour of one Sharref-ud-Din Bhat S/o Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, registered with Sub-Registrar, Baramulla, under No. 517 dated 18.01.2018. However, the said Power of Attorney was subsequently cancelled, and the petitioner has since regained authority over the land, which fact is reflected in the revenue records. The Girdawari annexed with the report confirms this aspect of the matter. 3. Furthermore, the report indicates that the petitioner had mortgaged the land to secure a loan. Nonetheless, two kanals of the said land are presently under the occupation of the Police Post, Old Town, Baramulla, in respect of which the petitioner seeks appropriate relief.
