3. The case of the petitioner is that there is neither civil suit nor rival claim whatsoever pending in respect of the property in question and as such, he has submitted a representation dated 28.06.2012 for issuance of Patta. Since the said representation has not been considered so far, the petitioner is before this Court with the above prayer.
