Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, petitioner’s ancestors were in continuous possession of Khasra No. 451 situated at village Sarona, Patwari Halka No. 56, RNM Raipura, Tahsil and Distt. Raipur. As per original settlement record and map prepared during year 1939- 40, settlement, location, identity and boundaries of aforesaid land were clearly demarcated and correspond with the physical position on the spot, which were also supported from old revenue record and old registered sale deed dated 17-7-1989. During the process of digitization and preparation of updated revenue records and online maps, there was clerical error occurred whereby Khasra No. 451 and Khasra No. 452 were wrongly interchanged in the revenue record, resulting in serious confusion regarding identity and location of the land. Therefore, petitioner filed an application under Section 107(5) of the CG Land Revenue Code, 1959 along with all necessary documents before the Upper Collector, Raipur on 14-7-2025, which was registered as Case No. 202507113000052/A-6, which is pending consideration since 14-7-2025 and has not been concluded yet. Hence, she prays that respondent No. 2/Upper Collector, Raipur be directed to conclude proceeding of aforesaid revenue case within stipulated period.

3. Learned counsel for the State has no objection to allow above limited prayer.

4. Having considered the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner for issuance of direction to respondent No. 2 to decide the revenue case No. 202507113000052/A-6, this petition is disposed of at this stage, with the direction to respondent no. 2/Upper Collector, Raipur to decide the Revenue case No. 202507113000052/A-6 pending before it in accordance with law, as early as possible preferably within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt/
