On August 25, 1972, Mr Mina Ram received three bigha two biswas of agricultural land in Shimla from the Himachal Pradesh Government to farm under the Nautor rules. A revenue assistant handed over this land, but due to unknown reasons, the revenue officials never signed the patta (official land revenue document) even though it was ready. Mina Ram did not push the issue at that time and went on with his life.
On November 25, 1990, when Mina Ram died, his wife Sewati Devi applied to get the patta but again the patta, despite being ready, was not signed. So the names of Sewati and Mina never got mutated in the land’s revenue records since the documents were never signed.
