The learned Additional Government Advocate submits that the concerned Tahsildar has already filed an appeal against the mutation entries effected in favour of respondent No.6 impugning the Saguvali Chit dated 13.08.2014, on the ground that no application under Form 50 or Form 53 was found in the Application Grant Register and the proceedings dated 06.09.1994, on the basis of which, the name of respondent No.6 was entered in land records, are not in order. 3. In view of the above, we do not consider it necessary to entertain the present petition as a PIL. The same is disposed of. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:26506-DB WP No. 106338 of 2024 4.
