The learned senior counsel for the petitioner draws attention of this Court to the third respondent –Tahasildhar’s order dated 06.12.2021, and it is seen from this order that the third respondent has listed the proceedings on 31.12.2021 recording that the petitioner's counsel has sought leave to enter appearance in the proceedings. It is reiterated by the learned Senior Counsel that the request on behalf of the petitioner with the third respondent is to be heard on the objections filed.

In the light of the objections as per Annexure-J, this Court is of the considered view that the petition could be disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to place on record before the third respondent the circumstances relied upon in the present petition and seek order and if such information is placed on record, the third respondent shall consider the same strictly in accordance with law after hearing the petitioner.
