1. The petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking following reliefs:

“10.1 That, petitioner most respectfully prays that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the proper demarcation/batankan of Khasra Nos. 246/2 and 253/3, Village Jhumka, strictly in accordance with law.

It is the case of the petitioners that Petitioner No. 1 had purchased agricultural land bearing Khasra No. 246/2 admeasuring 0.186 hectare through a registered sale deed dated

04.01.2008 and has been in continuous possession and cultivation of the said land since then.

However, due to an alleged clerical or record-related error at the time of registration, the land was reflected in fragmented form, leading to confusion regarding its actual boundaries. The petitioners further submit that several adjoining landholders have also purchased lands from the same vendors over a period of time through different sale deeds, which has f
