     2     The background facts of the case as as under:-\n<\/p>\n
           The subject matter of this writ petition is a mutation entry No.<\/p>\n
     976 by Tahsildar on 8.7.1991 in respect of land Gat No. 650<\/p>\n
     admeasuring 1 H 41 R situated at village Mankeshwar in Osmanabad<\/p>\n
     district. The said land was originally owned by Ganpati Shinde and<\/p>\n
     after his death, it was by inheritance came to his two sons viz. Baban<\/p>\n
     and Chaturbhuj, now both the sons are dead. In the year 1988, an<\/p>\n
     oral partition between deceased Baban and Chaturbhuj, in which<\/p>\n
     Narayan sought 3 H 2 R portion from land Gat No.650 was allotted to<\/p>\n
     the share of Chaturbhuj and remaining southern portion was given to<\/p>\n
     the share of heirs of deceased Baban.\n<\/p>\n
           Chaturbhuj sold the portion of of 1 H 41 R tot he petitioner No.1<\/p>\n
     for his medical expenses by registered sale deed dated 14.11.1987<\/p>\n
     and mutation entry to that effect was made on 2.7.1986. Respondent<\/p>\n
     Nos. 1 to 4 herein, who are L.Rs. of Chaturbhuj filed R.C.S. No. 35 of<\/p>\n
     1987 in the Court of C.J.S.D. Paranda on 16.11.1987 for the relief that<\/p>\n
     the sale deed executed between the parties are not binding on the<\/p>\n
     legal heirs of deceased Chaturbhuj and prayed that the suit came to<\/p>\n
     be dismissed on 30.7.1999.\n<\/p>\n

\n                                          4<\/span><\/p>\n
            On 18.6.1991 i.e. during pendency of the R.C.S. No. 35 of 1987,<\/p>\n
     the petitioner No.1 herein executed registered sale deed in favour of<\/p>\n
     petitioner No.2 and mutation entry No. 976 was certified on 8.7.1991.\n<\/p>\n
     Respondent No.1 to 4 herein applied to the Sub Divisional Officer,<\/p>\n
     Bhoom for cancellation of the mutation entry No. 976. The Sub<\/p>\n
     Divisional Officer by his order dated 30.3.1994 set aside the mutation<\/p>\n
     entry No.976. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed R.T.S.\n<\/p>\n
     Appeal No. 59 of 1994 before the Additional Collector, Osmanabad<\/p>\n
     and by his order dated 23.2.1996 the said appeal came to be<\/p>\n
     dismissed. Against the said order, the petitioner filed revision before<\/p>\n
     Divisional Commissioner, Aurangabad which came to be dismissed by<\/p>\n
     order dated 16.12.1998. The petitioner filed another revision<\/p>\n
     application before the State Government. By order dated 7.11.2001,<\/p>\n
     the same revision came to be dismissed as not maintainable. Hence,<\/p>\n
     this writ petition.\n<\/p>\n
     3      Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the<\/p>\n
     sale deed in favour of petitioner No.1 was never challenged by the<\/p>\n
     respondents, and therefore, the further registered sale deed in favour<\/p>\n
     of the petitioner No.2 cannot be questioned. It is further submitted that<\/p>\n
     petitioner No.1 also became absolute owner of the property on the<\/p>\n
     basis of the registered sale deed executed by Chaturbhuj during his<\/p>\n
     life time in the year 1983. It is further submitted that the petitioner No.<\/p>\n
     1 became absolute owner of the property, he validly transferred the<\/p>\n

\n                                            5<\/span><\/p>\n
     said property to petitioner No.2 and the Revenue Officers have duly<\/p>\n
     certified the mutation entries to that effect. In view of this, it is not open<\/p>\n
     for the Revenue authority to cancel the mutation entry and its<\/p>\n
     certification and that too after lapse of so many years. It is further<\/p>\n
     submitted that the sale deed was never challenged by the respondents<\/p>\n
     and the petitioner No.1 was competent to sale the suit land in favour of<\/p>\n
     the petitioner No.2, therefore, the said transaction dated 18.6.1991 in<\/p>\n
     favour of petitioner No.2. by the petitioner No.1 cannot be doubted or<\/p>\n
     set aside. According to the learned senior counsel, principle of lis<\/p>\n
     pendency are not applicable in the revenue proceedings in any case<\/p>\n
     that can be validly made under Section 149 of the Maharashtra Land<\/p>\n
     Revenue code, 1966, Learned counsel has invited my attention to the<\/p>\n
     grounds in the petition and submitted that setting aside the mutation<\/p>\n
     entry amounts to serious consequences including the consequences<\/p>\n
     of suspending the sale deed and such power is not vested in the<\/p>\n
     revenue forum as contemplated under the provisions of the Land<\/p>\n
     Acquisition Act.    It is further submitted that the suit           filed by the<\/p>\n
     respondent herein is already dismissed and therefore, in any case the<\/p>\n
     order of cancellation of mutation entry cannot be permitted. The<\/p>\n
     authorities below have failed to prove that the mutation entry No. 976<\/p>\n
     as well as entry 469 have been drawn and duly certified as per law.\n<\/p>\n
     There is no any reason to cancel the same. Therefore, the learned<\/p>\n
     counsel submitted that this petition deserves to be allowed.\n<\/p>\n

     4     Though the contesting respondents are duly served and<\/p>\n
     appearance is filed on their behalf, none appears for them.\n<\/p>\n
     5     I have carefully perused the order passed by the Sub Divisional<\/p>\n
     Officer, the order passed by the Additional Collector, Osmanabad, the<\/p>\n
     order passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Aurangabad Vision,<\/p>\n
     Aurangabad and the order passed by the Secretary and Officer on<\/p>\n
     Special Duty (Appeals), Revenue and Forest Department and found<\/p>\n
     that the S.D.O. Bhoom, Additional Collector, Osmanabad and<\/p>\n
     Commissioner, Aurangabad Division, Aurangabad have recorded the<\/p>\n
     findings that the mutation entry No. 976 was taken by the Tahsildar on<\/p>\n
     20.6.1991 pending the R.C.S. No. 35 of 1987 without issuing notice to<\/p>\n
     the respondents, though the present petitioner was defendant in the<\/p>\n
     said suit and he was aware that the R.C.S. No. 35 of 1987 is pending,<\/p>\n
     therefore, the authorities found that the Tahsildar has certified<\/p>\n
     mutation entry No.976 without notice to the respondents herein, who<\/p>\n
     are original plaintiffs in R.C.S. No. 35 of 1987 and therefore, S.D.O. in<\/p>\n
     the appeal of the respondent set aside the order of Tahsildar<\/p>\n
     sanctioning the mutation entry 976. On careful perusal of the findings<\/p>\n
     recorded by the authorities, it clearly emerges that all three authorities<\/p>\n
     have taken reasonable and plausible view.\n<\/p>\n
     6     Therefore, in writ jurisdiction, I do not find any reason to interfere<\/p>\n
     in the findings recorded by the courts below. There is no substance in<\/p>\n

     in the writ petition. Hence, writ petition is dismissed. Rule discharged.\n<\/p>\n
     Interim relief, stands vacated.\n<\/p>\n
     7      It is made clear that the dismissal of the writ petition would not<\/p>\n
     preclude the petitioner to apply afresh for mutation entry in the light of<\/p>\n
     the pleadings of the petitioners that subsequently R.C.S. No.35 of<\/p>\n
     1987 is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
