The petitioner is unconcerned with the said survey. The chart of reservation, supplied to the petitioner under the Right to Information Act, evidences this fact. However, map drawing the reservation has wrongly shown survey No. 212 which belongs to the petitioner. The copy of the reservation chart and the map is at Annexure "B", which is at Page No.13 and 14 of the petition paper book.
