You mean to say ione of the reliefs is that you want the rectification of records.

However the cort can allow or reject the releifs prayed for. In a declaratory suit you cannot ask for rectification of any records jut u ask Court to declare you as the owner or whatever but that does not allow u to improve the pervious records, It is better to set the records right and ther after file for declaraltro suit.

sir, thanks a lot for quick response.  in other courts, i have filed, they accepted.  Now in this case I am questioned to show legal aspect.  court fee paid u/s 43.  ie. rs.15  per year for rectification in pahani.  I need reference for, discretionary powers of court to accept or reject.

Dear that is not possible to get rectification of records and decalration at the same time .

You need to set the rectifications first.

declaration of title and rectification entries in revenue records, for the past 10 years.  (sec 43 - computation of fee-  refers that, A suit for declaration of title to certain land with a prayer for cancellation of mutation was held to be governed by this section.  Court fee is not payable under this section in a suit for a declaration of title and for declaration that the record of rights was null and void.   But a suit for declaration that an entry in the record of rights is not correct, is held to fall under this section.
