For a further direction upon the respondent authorities after correction of the online records of the scheduled land, issue the rent receipt to petitioner after accepting the rent of the land in question which has erroneously been shown as Anabad Bihar Sarkar without taking into consideration the fact that land in question is owned and possessed by the Petitioner having marketable title.”
