Suit for declaration.
It is continuing wrong, so do not think about limitation.

Nature of suit is right as stated.

It is a continuing wrong but you have to show that you have not acquiesced the act of the opposite party to have a good case.

You may also move an appeal / revision under the relevant revenue law before the concerned revenue authority. In fact, if you succeed in the appeal, the problems would be solved quickly than through a civil suit because you are in possession and the only problem faced by you is that your name is not mutated in the revenue records. Hence, if the record is corrected / rectified by way of deletion of the incorrect entry, you may not need to file a suit. However, the only impediment that you may face in filing the appeal / revision is that the opposite party resists your appeal and revenue authority, consequently and finally comes to the conclusion that your entry would be promulgated only upon declaration of the Court.
