In that regard several representations have been given by the petitioner to the respondent No.4 - Tahsildar to enter the name of the petitioner in the revenue records, but The Tahsildar has not passed any orders and therefore this writ petition is filed by the petitioner. 3.

If the claim of the petitioner is verified to be correct, then respondent No.4 shall proceed to enter the name of the petitioner in the revenue records as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On the other hand it is found that a kimmat is not paid, then kimmat may be collected from the petitioner and thereafter the name of the petitioner shall be entered in the revenue records. Ordered accordingly. Learned Additional Government Advocate is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE GPG List No.: 1 Sl No.: 25
