Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is aggrieved by the prolonged inaction and repeated remand of the proceedings by respondent No. 3/Sub-Divisional Officer (Revenue), Mahasamund, despite favourable enquiry reports submitted by the concerned Halka Patwari and Revenue Inspector, the recommendation made by respondent No. 4/Naib Tahsildar, Jhalap, and the consent affidavits furnished by the original landowners/vendors. He further submits that the petitioner had purchased diverted land admeasuring 6,387 sq. ft., bearing Khasra No. 613/1 and part of Khasra No. 613/2, subsequently renumbered as Khasra No. 613/86, situated at Village Jhalap, District Mahasamund, by way of a registered sale deed dated 20.04.2016, and the correct area of the said land was duly recorded in the manual Namantaran Panji. However, due to an apparent discrepancy in the online Bhuiyan portal, the area of the petitioner's land has been reflected as only 5,281 sq. ft., resulting in a deficit of 1,106 sq. ft. It is further submitted that the petitioner has preferred an application under Sections 107, 115 and 116 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959, seeking correction of the aforesaid discrepancy in the online revenue records; however, despite repeated remand orders dated 13.09.2024, 09.04.2025 and 30.05.2025, the matter has not attained finality and no final decision has been taken by the respondent authorities till date. Learned counsel, therefore, submits that the petitioner would be 4 satisfied if an appropriate direction is issued to respondent No. 3 to consider and decide the pending proceedings for correction of the land area recorded in the online Bhuiyan portal expeditiously, within a stipulated period. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that the correction of revenue records is required to be considered by the competent revenue authority strictly in accordance with law and after due verification of the relevant revenue records and documents. He, however, submits that if any proceeding is pending before the competent authority, the same shall be considered and decided in accordance with law. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the grievance raised by the petitioner and, particularly, the fact that the proceedings relating to correction of the land area recorded in the online Bhuiyan portal have remained pending for a considerable period despite the matter having been remanded on several occasions, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the present writ petition with a direction to the concerned Sub- Divisional Officer (Revenue), Mahasamund, to consider and decide the pending proceedings/application of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order, strictly in accordance with law, within a 5 period of 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. While deciding the matter, the concerned authority shall take into consideration the registered sale deed dated 20.04.2016 executed between the parties, along with the relevant revenue records and other material available on record. 6. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. 7. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
