Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondent No.5 is step mother of the petitioner and after the death of petitioner’s father, property was partitioned between the family members. However, respondent No.5 has encroached upon some portion of the share of the petitioner, hence, the petitioner filed application dated 03.03.2025 (Annexure-P/1) under Section 250 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959 (for short ‘the Code 1959’) before respondent No.4-Tahsildar, Akaltara, Distt.

In reply, learned counsel for the State, submits that the application filed by the petitioner is under consideration and the same shall be decided expeditiously. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5.
