In this writ petition, petitioners have prayed for following reliefs:- “i. For issuance of an appropriate Writ writs / order, orders / direction, Directions upon the respondents no 4 about cancel the present online revenue record of land bearing Mauja Taan, P.S Kuddu, Bearing Khata No. 91, Plot No. 169, Area 33 Decimal in the name of respondent no 5 to 7 while the aforesaid land has been purchased by the petitioners vide sale deed no.179 dated 28.01.2002 in Annexure No 1 in which mutation has been completed in the name of petitioners on dated 20.02.2003 and revenue receipt has been also issued in the name of the petitioners, but in the revenue record the name has been inserted online in the name of private respondent no 5 to 7 which is illegal in this regard the several occasion the petitioner have given application for correction of the revenue record before the respondent no 4 but still not any action has been taken as a result the land dispute has been arisen between the petitioner and private respondent no 5 to 7 due to wrong entry at online revenue record. ii. For the issuance an order or orders, direction or directions for taking legal action against the respondent no 4 about wrong entry and arisen land dispute.” 3. After hearing, learned counsel for the parties, I find that both the petitioner and respondent Nos.5 to 7 are claiming title over the land in question. Both of them are claiming on the basis of sale deed. Further, from the argument, I get an impression that there is dispute in respect of possession over the land in question as some part may be overlapping each other. 4. These types to title dispute cannot be adjudicated in an application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Thus, I direct the petitioner to approach the Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. Once the petitioner approaches the Court, it will be open to the petitioner to file an application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 of CPC which will be considered by the Court. 5. With the aforesaid observation, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. Pending I.A., if any, stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 13th August, 2026 R.S./S.K.C Uploaded on 14/08/2026
