b) To declare that the petitioners’ property covered by Exhibit P2 comprised in Re.Sy.No.793/15-3 in Block No.5 of Thrikkakkara North Village is a converted dry land and therefore, direct the 2^nd respondent to remove the entry in the data bank as Nilam referring to the petitioners land.

c) To dispense with the filing of the translation of vernacular documents.
