I had applied for attestation of mutation on 21 dec 2023, on 22 Jan 2024 patwari rejected my online application on last day on providing me service as per PSGA,2011. Even many times a patwari said I will do I will do but he didn't done my work. Because he wants bribe from me to proceed. He rejected my application with explanation that I fill wrong khasra no. And not submitted proper documentation but I know I did. But if by mistake I did enter wrong khasra no. He should forward the application to me again for editing the details but he purposefully do this at last day. He said again apply new application, I will do I had applied new application on 23 Jan 2024, but he again doing same thing did previously.
So please help me what should I do.

A.Dear Client,

If you have a complaint against a land revenue officer in India, you can take the following steps:

1. Approach the higher authorities: You can first try to resolve the issue by approaching the higher authorities in the revenue department. This can include the District Revenue Officer, the Joint Commissioner of Revenue, or the Collector of the district.
2. File a complaint with the Revenue Secretary: If your complaint is not addressed by the higher authorities, you can file a complaint with the Revenue Secretary of your state. You can do this by submitting a written complaint or by filling out an online form available on the official website of the Revenue Department.
3. File a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission: If your complaint pertains to a violation of your human rights, you can file a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission. They have the power to investigate and take action against any officer found guilty of violating human rights.
4. File a complaint with the Lokayukta: If the officer is involved in corrupt practices, you can file a complaint with the Lokayukta or the Anti-Corruption Bureau of your state. They can conduct an investigation and take appropriate legal action against the officer if found guilty.

In addition to the above, you can also seek legal help from a lawyer who specializes in land revenue matters. They can guide you through the legal process and help you take the necessary steps to file a complaint against the officer.

A.Dear Client,
The Prevention of Corruption Act of 1988 considers the non-performance of public duty as an offence. Thus, non-performance of duty by public servants for which they are morally, legally and constitutionally mandated to do, is a form of corruption. So, in the given situation, you can file a complaint against the concerned public servant to the higher authorities for necessary action failing which you can file a complaint against the concerned public servant under Section 7,/ 7A or Sec.8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 before the Court of Special Judge appointed u/s.3 of the said Act seeking appropriate relief in the matter. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
