Singh, AC to GP-III ------ 03/ 21st July, 2026 1. Heard the parties. 2. The only dispute is that 0.5 decimal of land of the petitioner has not been reflected in the Digital Land Portal maintained by the State of Jharkhand. 3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the petitioner had purchased 18.5 decimals of land but initially only 18 decimals of land got reflected in the digital records. The petitioner thereafter, sold 12.5 decimals of land from the aforesaid land but the respondents though deducted 12.5 decimal but since the initial entry was wrong in the records, there is less recording of 0.5 decimals of land corresponding to the land held by the petitioner. 4. Considering the said submission, the learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner should approach the Circle Officer, Ganday, who will look into the grievance of the petitioner and after being satisfied, will pass an appropriate order. He submits that the petitioner should produce all the documents and sale-deeds and the deeds by which the petitioner purchased the land, before the Circle Officer, so that the grievance can be redressed. 5. Considering the said submission of the parties, I direct the petitioner to approach the Circle Officer, Gandey, by filing a representation along with all the documents, who will consider the 2026:JHHC:21457 Page | 2 case of the petitioner and will pass an appropriate order, as per law and will communicate the same to the petitioner. 6. The entire process should be completed within a period of 12 weeks from the date of filing of representation. 7. With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition stands disposed of.
