Giving this information Revenue Minister Mr. Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria said the government would charge Rs 1000 for the facility.

Notably, the Revenue Officers/Courts mostly feel helpless as the proper addresses of the co-sharers of the property, to be summoned in Revenue Court Cases, are not available and sometimes because of the vested interests of the private parties, they usually hesitate to provide complete and proper addresses of the other co-sharers.
