Learned counsel for the writ petitioner submits that the petitioner is the absolute owner of the subject property and he succeeded to the said property from his father. The 2nd respondent without any basis incorporated the name of the 1st respondent in the RTC in respect of the said property. The said incorporation of the name of the 1st respondent is without any basis. Incorporation was done without conducting any enquiry whatsoever and thereby causing loss to the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court, seeking appropriate relief. 4. Learned standing counsel who represents respondent No.1 submits that in the similarly placed circumstances, this Court disposed of number of writ petitions including W.P.No.200153/2023, by which the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-K:1928 WP No. 200918 of 2025 changes effected were set aside and liberty was granted to the concerned to conduct detailed enquiry and to make incorporation of name or entries in column No.11 of the ROR, if required and therefore, similar order may be passed. 5. Learned Additional Government Advocate submits that the insertion was made without any enquiry being conducted and therefore, the writ petition may be disposed of granting liberty to respondent No.2 to make necessary enquiry and to proceed in accordance with law. 6. Having considered the submissions thus made and as it is clearly brought to the notice of this Court that the entry of the name of respondent No.1 in column No.11 of the ROR in respect of subject property is without basis and devoid of proper enquiry, this Court considers desirable to allow the writ petition. 7. Thus, the writ petition is allowed with the following: - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC-K:1928 WP No. 200918 of 2025 ORDER (i) The entry made in column No.11 of the ROR in the name of respondent No.1 in respect of land in Sy.
