The learned Collector observed that<\/p>\n<p>merely for dropping of the proceedings under Section 91 of the<\/p>\n<p>Act of 1956, the non-applicants did not acquire khatedri rights<\/p>\n<p>in the land in question but during a revenue campaign, the<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Collector proceeded to issue a sanction in favour of<\/p>\n<p>the non-applicants on the basis of the order passed in the<\/p>\n<p>said appeal arising out of the proceedings under Section 91 of<\/p>\n<p>the Act of 1956 that led to the disputed mutation No.314. The<\/p>\n<p>learned Collector opined that such a communication from the<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Collector was not authorised by law; and the<\/p>\n<p>disputed mutation No.314 having not been effected on the<\/p>\n<p>basis of a competent order, was liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n<p>         The reference so made was taken up for consideration<\/p>\n<p>by the Board of Revenue in Reference Case No. 582\/2001. It<\/p>\n<p>was argued before the Board of Revenue in support of the<\/p>\n<p>reference that a similar nature Reference Case No. 266\/1986:<\/p>\n<p>State Vs.     Ganga Ram had already been allowed wherein<\/p>\n<p>mutation No. 315 dated 03.07.1979 was ordered to be set<\/p>\n<p>aside.     It was, however, contended on behalf of the non-<\/p>\n<p>applicants that the land in question in the present case was<\/p>\n<p>earlier comprised in khasra No. 747\/20 and in its relation, the<\/p>\n<p>Sub Divisional Officer, Jodhpur, while allowing an application<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>moved under Section 15 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955<\/p>\n<p>(&#8216;the Act of 1955&#8217;), declared khatedari rights in favour of the<\/p>\n<p>father of the non-applicants by the order dated 28.11.1956.<\/p>\n<p>The non-applicants contended that the said one was an order<\/p>\n<p>passed by the competent court under Section 15 (5) of the Act<\/p>\n<p>of 1955 and had attained finality. The non-applicants further<\/p>\n<p>contended that themselves and their ancestors had been in<\/p>\n<p>possession of the land in question even before Svt. Year<\/p>\n<p>1997 and referred to the documentary evidence in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>It was asserted that the mutation in question had not been<\/p>\n<p>sanctioned merely on the basis of dropping of the proceedings<\/p>\n<p>under Section 91 of the Act of 1956 but was essentially based<\/p>\n<p>on the order passed under Section 15 of the Act of 1955. It<\/p>\n<p>was also pointed out that after the mutation in question, the<\/p>\n<p>land had been permitted to be divided; and further mutation<\/p>\n<p>No. 526 dated 25.08.1986 had been effected in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>While submitting that the reference was a highly belated one<\/p>\n<p>and was made only      on the basis of a complaint that was<\/p>\n<p>lodged for personal enmity, the non-applicants also pointed<\/p>\n<p>out that the Board of Revenue had dismissed the similar<\/p>\n<p>nature reference cases on 07.09.1987.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The learned Member of the Board found that the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>contentions as urged before him by the counsel for the non-<\/p>\n<p>applicants were definitely urged before the Collector, Jodhpur<\/p>\n<p>but while making the reference, the learned Collector did not<\/p>\n<p>dilate on such points nor even examined the evidence. The<\/p>\n<p>learned Member also found that the order as passed under<\/p>\n<p>Section 15 of the Act of 1955 granting khatedari rights to the<\/p>\n<p>non-applicants and their father was neither taken into<\/p>\n<p>consideration by the Collector in his reference order nor was it<\/p>\n<p>shown if the said order was ever challenged. The learned<\/p>\n<p>Member also referred to the fact that upon the land in question<\/p>\n<p>falling within the municipal limits, the Urban Improvement<\/p>\n<p>Trust, Jodhpur did move an application to the Collector<\/p>\n<p>concerned for making a reference but then, such an<\/p>\n<p>application came to be rejected as withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>       The learned Member of the Board of Revenue noticed<\/p>\n<p>the facts that the mutation in question was effected as back as<\/p>\n<p>on 28.12.1978 and ever since the year 1979, the land stood<\/p>\n<p>recorded in the names of the non-applicants; and also found<\/p>\n<p>correct the fact that further mutation No. 526 was effected after<\/p>\n<p>the division was agreed to by the Tehsildar in his order dated<\/p>\n<p>25.08.1986. The learned Member referred to the decision of<\/p>\n<p>this Court in the case of Anandi Lal Vs. State of Rajasthan &amp;<\/p>\n<p>Ors. : 1996 (1) RLW 396 to find that reference could not be<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>permitted after an inordinate delay; and observed that in any<\/p>\n<p>case, for the order under Section 15 of the Act of 1955 having<\/p>\n<p>become final in favour of the non-applicants, the reference<\/p>\n<p>was liable to be rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The learned Member also considered the contentions as<\/p>\n<p>urged on behalf of the petitioners about other Reference Case<\/p>\n<p>No. 266\/1986 having been allowed in relation to mutation No.<\/p>\n<p>315 but observed that in the said case, the land in question<\/p>\n<p>was found to have been given to the Urban Improvement Trust<\/p>\n<p>for abadi extension and the disputed mutation was set aside<\/p>\n<p>for the Urban Improvement Trust having not been heard.<\/p>\n<p>The learned Member pointed out that the position in the<\/p>\n<p>present case was entirely different and rather, the reference<\/p>\n<p>proceedings as adopted by the Urban Improvement Trust in<\/p>\n<p>relation to the land in question stood terminated way back in<\/p>\n<p>the year 1995.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The petitioner State of Rajasthan through the Tehsildar,<\/p>\n<p>Jodhpur has preferred this writ petition seeking to challenge<\/p>\n<p>the order so passed by the Board of Revenue rejecting the<\/p>\n<p>reference made by the Collector. While examining this writ<\/p>\n<p>petition and looking to the observations made in the order<\/p>\n<p>passed by the Board of Revenue, it was considered<\/p>\n<p>appropriate to hear the Urban Improvement Trust, Jodhpur in<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>this matter and the petitioner was, therefore, directed to<\/p>\n<p>implead the said Urban Improvement Trust as party-<\/p>\n<p>respondent by the order dated 12.09.2008. Thereafter, for the<\/p>\n<p>said Urban Improvement Trust having been substituted by the<\/p>\n<p>Jodhpur Development Authority, Jodhpur, such directions<\/p>\n<p>were modified on 12.12.2008 and the said successor of Urban<\/p>\n<p>Improvement Trust, Jodhpur, i.e., the Jodhpur Development<\/p>\n<p>Authority, Jodhpur was ordered to be impleaded as party-<\/p>\n<p>respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Upon being served with a notice in this matter,<\/p>\n<p>submissions have been made on behalf of the Jodhpur<\/p>\n<p>Development Authority, Jodhpur specifically to the effect that<\/p>\n<p>the land in dispute was never set apart in favour of the Urban<\/p>\n<p>Improvement Trust under the Land Revenue Act and had not<\/p>\n<p>been acquired for the Urban Improvement Trust; and that the<\/p>\n<p>application for reference as made by the Urban Improvement<\/p>\n<p>Trust was withdrawn. It has, therefore, been submitted that<\/p>\n<p>the respondent Jodhpur Development Authority, Jodhpur has<\/p>\n<p>nothing to do with the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The categoric stand        taken on behalf of the Jodhpur<\/p>\n<p>Development Authority, Jodhpur makes it clear that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners were not right in suggesting       similarity of the<\/p>\n<p>present case with the other one wherein the reference was<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>allowed particularly after finding the land in question having<\/p>\n<p>been set apart and handed over to the Urban Improvement<\/p>\n<p>Trust. For the fundamental difference of facts, the decision in<\/p>\n<p>Reference Case No.266\/1986 has no application to the<\/p>\n<p>present case whatsoever.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      The basic facts of the present case make it absolutely<\/p>\n<p>clear that the learned Collector proceeded merely on the<\/p>\n<p>assumption that the questioned mutation No.314 was<\/p>\n<p>sanctioned in favour of the non-applicants only on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>dropping of the proceedings under Section 91 of the Act of<\/p>\n<p>1956. Such observations have been found not in accord with<\/p>\n<p>the record; and it has been noticed that the directions were<\/p>\n<p>issued by the Assistant Collector on the basis of the earlier<\/p>\n<p>orders, patta, and other pieces of evidence that were placed<\/p>\n<p>before him and were referred in his communication dated<\/p>\n<p>28.12.1978. There does not appear any reason to consider<\/p>\n<p>any interference in the writ jurisdiction of this Court in such<\/p>\n<p>findings on essential facts by the Board of Revenue.<\/p>\n<p>      Apart from the aforesaid, it is but apparent that the<\/p>\n<p>disputed mutation was effected as back as in the year 1978.<\/p>\n<p>The proceedings in reference were taken up by the Collector<\/p>\n<p>concerned only in the year 1994; and significantly, in the year<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>         1995, the reference application as moved on behalf of the<\/p>\n<p>         Urban Improvement Trust in relation to the same mutation was<\/p>\n<p>         withdrawn. Thereafter, the reference in question was made in<\/p>\n<p>         this case only in the year 2001. The reference proceedings<\/p>\n<p>         cannot be adopted as a matter of course and as a matter of<\/p>\n<p>         right at any time as chosen by the authorities concerned.<\/p>\n<p>               The reference having been made after an inordinate<\/p>\n<p>         delay with nothing on substance; and no case of any<\/p>\n<p>         fundamental illegality or manifest error having been made out,<\/p>\n<p>         the Board of Revenue cannot be faulted in having rejected the<\/p>\n<p>         same.\n<\/p>\n<p>               There appears no ground in this case to consider any<\/p>\n<p>         interference in the extraordinary writ jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>               In view of the aforesaid, the writ petition does not merit<\/p>\n<p>         admission; and stands rejected.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                              (DINESH MAHESHWARI), J.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mohan\/\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court &#8211; Jodhpur State Of Raj vs Kana Ram &amp; Ors on 24 March, 2009 1 S\/3 S.B.
