2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned Addl. Government Advocate for the State.
3. The Petitioners are aggrieved by order dtd.20.5.2025 passed by the Tahasildar, Balianta, whereby their application for mutation of the concerned property was rejected on the ground of mismatch between the land particulars and the RSD.

If such an appeal is preferred within two weeks from today along with an application seeking condonation of delay, the appellate authority shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. The appellate authority shall do well to consider the application for condonation of delay at the first instance.
