That time the Ashram was managed by Sukhdeo. Gopal Das (respondent No.6) was his student, therefore, he used to manage the aforesaid property, but respondent No.6/Gopal Das fraudulently/illegally recorded aforesaid land in his name in revenue record as at that time Ashram was not registered, but aforesaid lands are still in possession of Ashram Kabir Kuti Seva Samiti, therefore, the petitioner filed various applications and last application is Annexure P-6 dated 03.03.2026 to Collector, Mahasamund to record aforesaid land in the name of Kabir Seva Ashram Samiti. Learned counsel would further submit that this petition may be disposed of directing respondent No.2/Collector, Manasamund to decide Annexure P-6 and earlier representations within stipulated period. 3.
