As the said direction was not complied with, the petitioner initiated Contempt Petition No.3784 of 2025. During the contempt proceedings, the Tahsildar admitted that the petitioner's property had been erroneously recorded in the name of a third party under the UDR Scheme and recommended rectification of the revenue records by mutating the petitioner's name. Based on the said submission, the contempt petition was closed on 12.01.2026 with a direction to pass final orders. Though the District Revenue Officer thereafter conducted an enquiry on 05.02.2026 and the petitioner produced all original title documents, no final order has been passed till date.
