If such application is filed within a week from today, the Tahasildar, Nischintakoili shall consider the same with a reference to the case record and if he is satisfied that the petitioners are the legal heirs of one of the co-sharers who had already expired by the time of initiation of the mutation application, shall recall the order and hear the mutation case afresh by granting opportunity of hearing to all the necessary parties.
5. It is made clear that the ROR already issued in consequence of the impugned order shall be subject to ultimate order to be passed by the Tahasildar, Nischintakoili in the mutation case.
