It is stated that Revision No. 2925 of 2010 (State of U.P. & another Vs.
Tahsildar & others) has been filed by impleading the revisionist no.1 as State
Government of Uttar Pradesh through Additional District Government
Counsel (Revenue), Jaunpur and Gram Sabha Bhadehri Pargana Bayalasi
Tehsil Kerakat District Jaunpur without impleading land management
committee of the village in question through its Gram Pradhan. The
submission of learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia is that such revision
cannot be maintained before Dy. Director of Consolidation as the State
Government cannot be represented by A.D.G.C. (Revenue), District Jaunpur
and Gram Sabha can only be represented by land management committee of
the village in question through its Pradhan.

The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner appears to have
some substance. Accordingly further proceedings in Revision No. 2925 of
2010 pending before Dy. Director of Consolidation, Jaunpur shall remain
stayed till the next date of listing.
