Though the land originally beionged to Smt. Megli and should have devolved upon her only son, Korra Vittal, and thereafter equally among all legal heirs, the mutation was carried out behind the petitioners'back.

4. A mutation was earlier made in the year 2OlB distributing the land equally, but subsequently the said I t Page 3 of4 brothers wrongfully transferred the title deeds in their favour. The petitioners have equal rights and are in actual possession and enjoyment of their respective shares, each cultivating Ac.1-20. Despite submitting a detailed representation, dated 23.04.2025 respondent No.3 failed to take any action. The Revenue authorities violated mandatory procedures by not issuing notice or providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners. Hence, the petitioners seek appropriate directions to protect their lawful rights and ensure proper enquiry and equitable distribution of the property.

Learned Assistant Government pleader for Revenue would submit that the petitioners ought to have submitted an application in an appropriate module of Bhu Bharati Portal with the respondent-authorities and in the absence of which the petitioners submitting representation before a respontlent No.3 and approaching this court seeking the remedy is nothing but misconception.
