In this Writ Petition, the petitioner has sought for Writ of Mandamus to direct respondents No.2 to 5 to consider the representations at Annexures- R and T, which has not been done till date. 3. Having taken note of the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for parties and the averments made in the representations at Annexures- R and T would indicate - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32964 WP No. 18535 of 2026 that there is a discrepancy in so far as the measurement of the land in question. 4. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that it is open for the petitioner to challenge the earlier orders passed by the revenue authorities as the measurement of the land in question therein and without challenging the said order, the respondents have no jurisdiction to consider the representation Annexures -R and T. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, liberty is reserved to the petitioner to challenge the earlier orders.
