After his death, petitioners succeeded the said property. According to the petitioners, the said property is a patta land. Even then, it is mentioned as Ktrariz Khata in the revenue records. Though the petitioners tried to submit an online application for change of nature of property from Klrariz Khata to patta tand, they could not do so, as the subject property is mentioned in the list of prohibited properties. Therefore, they have submitted a representation to the 2"a respondent with a request to delete the subject property from the list of prohibited properties.
