Learned counsel for the petitioners would further submit that the names of the petitioners were incorporated in all the revenue records and they were also issued pattadar passbooks vide Khata Nos.652 and 751, respectively. It is further submitted that as notional sub-division numbers were allotted while mutating the names of the petitioners, they were made applications, dated 16.092025 to conduct survey, demarcation, fixation of boundaries and sub-division of land. The grievance of the petitioners is that respondent No.5, without conducting survey as mandated under law, has issued the impugned endorsement, dated 20.10.2025 stating that their applications cannot be considered as there is no sub-division record (Podi Tippan), which is contrary to law.
