been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the aforesaid lands

for several years and his name is duly recorded in the revenue

records, for which B-1 records have also been issued by the

competent revenue authorities in his favour, clearly reflecting his

lawful title and possession over the said lands, it is further

submitted that the petitioner has been regularly paying land

revenue and all other applicable taxes in respect of the said

property, however, from the recent past certain cousin brothers

and other relatives of the petitioner have started encroaching

upon portions of the petitioner’s land, thereby giving rise to

disputes relating to the actual boundaries and possession of the

property; in order to protect his lawful rights and to ascertain the

exact boundaries of the land, the petitioner submitted an

application before the Tahsildar, Janjgir i.e. respondent No. 4

by such arbitrary and unexplained inaction on the part of

respondent authorities, the petitioner has been constrained to file
