The grievance of the petitioners is that when they made applications seeking for issuance of e-pattady passbooks to enable them to receive the various incentives sanctioned by thc Government as investment subsidy for cultivation of their lands, the said applications were not considered by the respondent authorities on the ground that there are inter se disputes among the adjacent owners.
