Land use change from forest land to grass land
Case of Chhattisgarh Government. An Un-surveyed Village was having a Land titled as "Bade Jhaad Ka Jangal/Forest Land" in its revenue records from [deleted]. The land was bearing Khasra No. 595 Area 440 Acre. When New Survey Was Done, the Khasra No. 595 was given new 30 Khasra No. like 226,227,320,849,880,881,1576 and etc., not only this, but the revenue map is showing these plots in different locations. 1. The same origin Khasra No. 595 Area 440 acre should be in some one exact place and if partition has been done the all parts should be side by side but disobeying this fact the plots are shown 2-5 kilometers away from each other. This is first thing. 2. When RTI has been filed, the document revealed that Court of Collector has given the decision of making forest land reverse to grass land because in land revenue records of 1954-55 the said khasra number was grass land but mistakenly in 1980's the Patwari designated the plot number as Forest land and then after 25 years, the said plot number reversed to Grass land, but in fact, the plot number is having a Bade Jhaad Ka Jangal in original. Court of collector has changed the land use of a land which is a forest land as on Forest Conservation Act 1980 without prior approval of central government. I want to make things change and suit a PIL against this. I made complaints to all competent authority from Tehsildar, SDM, Collector, Commisioner, Revenue Secretary and all Public Representatives, Ministers as well but no aciton is being taken for this because the said village consist of total area of approximately 800 acres and out of which 440 acre was a forest land Bade Jhaad Ka Jangal, out of which 280 acre is missing and reaming area is shown 2-5 kilometers away from each other in Revenue Map, so if issue arrises there is no other way than cancellation of Revenue Map that is why the local authority is trying to postpone this continously. By knowing all these facts, let me know what things can I do?

PIL or writ petition is maintainable in this case but making all the aforesaid govt department has parties
You can file a writ petition in the high court and enclose all the copies of documents supporting your statement and also enclose the copies of complaints you made to different authorities in this regard.
Please file a PIL before the Hon'ble High Court annexing the letter/mails sent by you to the different authorities.
If you are having interest in the national property and want to prevent further loss to the nation by misuse of some elements in this regard, you may gather all the evidences besides the evidences in yor possession and file a PIL in this regard before high court and fight it out effectively, let the court decide after making a discreet enquiry from all the authorities concerned in this regard.
Pl file writ petition in HC and hire senior expert local lawyer.
Dear sir
You should file the PIL in high court as it is a matter of public interest and no authority is taking action means there is something wrong and they want to alot the land to some big builder or use the land for some other projects also.
