It is the grievance of the petitioner that the land was recorded in the name of the grandfather of the petitioner but now in the online records the same has been shown to be recorded in the name of one Bechu Mian, son of Fagu Mian which is an erroneous entry. It is the grievance of the petitioner that on the basis of aforesaid wrong recording those persons are selling the land of the petitioner. It is his contention that he has filed a representation before Circle Officer, Latehar but no action has yet been taken.
2.
Learned counsel for the respondents submits that if the petitioner approaches the Circle Officer, Latehar an appropriate order will be passed on his representation and if it is found that there was some erroneous entry in the online records the same will be corrected after hearing the parties.
