Land admeasuring 1 bigha and 2 biswa situated in<\/p>\n<p>Khasra No.15\/1 in the revenue estate of Village Shahbad<\/p>\n<p>Daulatpur, Delhi was under the bhumidari of one Jabar Singh.<\/p>\n<p>He sold the said land to Vinod Chopra on 25.6.1988 whose<\/p>\n<p>general attorney, in turn, sold the land to the appellant on<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">LPA No.346\/2004                                           Page 1 of 7<\/span><br \/>\n 5.3.1992 by and under a registered sale deed.<\/p>\n<p>2.           Having purchased the land, the appellant applied to<\/p>\n<p>the Revenue Authorities i.e. the Tehsildar for the land to be<\/p>\n<p>mutated in his name in the revenue records. Vide mutation<\/p>\n<p>order dated 16.7.1993 the land was mutated in the name of<\/p>\n<p>the appellant. But, prior thereto, on 17.1.1992, with reference<\/p>\n<p>to a show-cause notice issued in the name of the previous<\/p>\n<p>recorded owner, a conditional order under Section 81 of the<\/p>\n<p>Delhi Land Reforms Act 1954 was passed by the Revenue<\/p>\n<p>Assistant.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.           Holding that the land required to be used for an<\/p>\n<p>agricultural purpose was being misused, it was directed, vide<\/p>\n<p>order 17.1.1992, that if within 3 months land use was not<\/p>\n<p>restored for the purpose prescribed as per law the same would<\/p>\n<p>be liable to be vested in the gaon sabha.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.           Thereafter, on 28.9.1995 a vesting order was<\/p>\n<p>passed holding that since the land use was not reverted to the<\/p>\n<p>permissible land use, the land stood vested in the gaon sabha.<\/p>\n<p>5.           When sought to be executed in the year 2000, the<\/p>\n<p>appellant filed an application on 7.7.2000 under Appendix VI<\/p>\n<p>Rule 14 of the Delhi Land Reforms Rules 1954 stating that the<\/p>\n<p>vesting order dated 28.9.1995 was passed without any notice<\/p>\n<p>to him and hence should be recalled.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.           The said application was dismissed by the Revenue<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">LPA No.346\/2004                                       Page 2 of 7<\/span><br \/>\n Assistant on 21.8.2000 holding that since a conditional order<\/p>\n<p>for ejectment had been passed on 17.1.1992 after serving the<\/p>\n<p>then recorded owner and the appellant having purchased the<\/p>\n<p>land subsequent to said date, it could not be claimed by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant that no notice had been served.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.           The appellant filed a Revision Petition before the<\/p>\n<p>Financial Commissioner challenging the order dated 21.8.2000<\/p>\n<p>passed by the Revenue Assistant stating that the appellant<\/p>\n<p>was laying a challenge to the vesting order dated 28.9.1995<\/p>\n<p>which was passed without any show-cause notice being served<\/p>\n<p>upon the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.           The   Revisional   Authority   i.e.   the    Financial<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner dismissed the Revision Petition vide order dated<\/p>\n<p>30.10.2000 holding that before the conditional vesting order<\/p>\n<p>was passed, the recorded bhumidar of the land was served. It<\/p>\n<p>was further held that having got the land mutated in his favour<\/p>\n<p>in the year 1993, it was not explained as to how after a gap of<\/p>\n<p>5 years, the vesting order dated 28.9.1995 was challenged<\/p>\n<p>when the application was filed before the Revenue Assistant<\/p>\n<p>on 7.7.2000.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.           The appellant challenged the order passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Financial Commissioner by and under WP(C) No.835\/2001<\/p>\n<p>which has been dismissed by the learned Single Judge holding<\/p>\n<p>as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LPA No.346\/2004                                          Page 3 of 7<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;The only contention raised before the Revenue<br \/>\n      Assistant was that the vesting order has come into<br \/>\n      being in the year 1995 despite the transfer in the<br \/>\n      name of the petitioner in pursuance to the sale deed<br \/>\n      of 1992 recorded by the entry in the khatauni of<br \/>\n      20.09.1993. The Revenue Assistant, however, found<br \/>\n      that the order had been passed on 17.01.1992 prior to<br \/>\n      the entry in favour of the petitioner and the order of<br \/>\n      vesting was a consequence of the earlier order dated<br \/>\n      17.01.1992. Since the recorded owner Jabbar Singh<br \/>\n      was served, the occasion to serve the petitioner did<br \/>\n      not arise.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      This is the same reasoning which has weighed with<br \/>\n      the Financial Commissioner when the petitioner filed<br \/>\n      the revision petition.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      Learned counsel for the petitioner today sought to<br \/>\n      contend that prior to the transfer being recorded in<br \/>\n      favour of the petitioner in 1993, there was an<br \/>\n      intervening sale in favour of Shri Vinod Chopra which<br \/>\n      was recorded prior to the order of 17.01.1992.<br \/>\n      Learned counsel for the petitioner was specifically<br \/>\n      asked to show as to where such a plea was raised<br \/>\n      before the Revenue Assistant or before the Financial<br \/>\n      Commissioner. There is no answer to this query. A<br \/>\n      reading of both the orders show that there is no such<br \/>\n      plea raised. In para (3) of the order of the Financial<br \/>\n      Commissioner what is recorded is that the petitioner<br \/>\n      purchased the land from Shri Vinod Chopra who had in<br \/>\n      turn purchased the land from Jabar Singh. Shri Jabar<br \/>\n      Singh was the lone recorded bhoomidar to whom<br \/>\n      admittedly notice has been given by the Revenue<br \/>\n      Assistant before passing the conditional order on<br \/>\n      17.01.1992.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      In my considered view, in order to raise the plea about<br \/>\n      non-service of notice on Shri Vinod Chopra, this matter<br \/>\n      should have been agitated before the forums below<br \/>\n      showing the mutation in the name of Shri Vinod<br \/>\n      Chopra and the non service on Shri Vinod Chopra<br \/>\n      coupled with the affidavit of Shri Vinod Chopra for non-<br \/>\n      receipt of the said notice. The petitioner cannot now<br \/>\n      be permitted to raise this fresh plea which has not<br \/>\n      been raised before the Revenue Assistant or before<br \/>\n      the Financial Commissioner.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LPA No.346\/2004                                       Page 4 of 7<\/span><\/p>\n<p> 10.          We have perused the application filed by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant     before   the   Revenue    Assistant   on    7.7.2000<\/p>\n<p>challenging the order dated 28.9.1995 as also the Revision<\/p>\n<p>Petition filed before the Revenue Assistant.<\/p>\n<p>11.          We find that the appellant has categorically raised a<\/p>\n<p>plea that pursuant to the sale deed dated 5.3.1992 land was<\/p>\n<p>mutated in his name vide mutation order dated 16.7.1993.<\/p>\n<p>The appellant questioned the vesting order dated 28.9.1995<\/p>\n<p>urging that before the same could be passed he was required<\/p>\n<p>to be served with a show-cause notice.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.          We further note that with respect to the conditional<\/p>\n<p>vesting order dated 17.1.1992 the appellant urged that having<\/p>\n<p>sanctioned mutation in his name on 16.7.1993 the revenue<\/p>\n<p>authorities could not predicate any right under the conditional<\/p>\n<p>vesting order dated 17.1.1992.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.          As regards the delay, the appellant has specifically<\/p>\n<p>pleaded that he learnt about the order dated 28.9.1995 only<\/p>\n<p>when the same was attempted to be executed.<\/p>\n<p>14.          We note that the revenue authorities have not<\/p>\n<p>bothered to consider whether the order dated 28.9.1995 was<\/p>\n<p>served upon the appellant, who by virtue of the mutation<\/p>\n<p>dated 16.7.1993 was shown as the recorded bhumidar of the<\/p>\n<p>land. Thus, the claim of the appellant with respect to the bar<\/p>\n<p>of delay required to be considered with reference to the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">LPA No.346\/2004                                          Page 5 of 7<\/span><br \/>\n vesting order being served and if not served, to consider<\/p>\n<p>whether knowledge was gained by the appellant when the<\/p>\n<p>vesting order was sought to be executed.\n<\/p>\n<p>15.          Further, it had to be considered whether the vesting<\/p>\n<p>order dated 28.9.1995 was legal and valid for the reason the<\/p>\n<p>appellant was never served with a prior notice before the order<\/p>\n<p>was passed; he having been shown as the recorded bhumidar<\/p>\n<p>of the land when mutation was effected in his favour on<\/p>\n<p>16.7.1993.\n<\/p>\n<p>16.          We allow the appeal and set aside the impugned<\/p>\n<p>order dated 8.1.2004.        WP(C) No.835\/2001 filed by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant stands allowed. Order dated 30.10.2000 passed by<\/p>\n<p>the Financial Commissioner dismissing Case No.273\/2000-CA<\/p>\n<p>is set aside. The Revision Petition i.e. Case No.273\/2000-CA is<\/p>\n<p>restored for fresh adjudication in accordance with law.<\/p>\n<p>17.          We direct the Financial Commissioner to re-decide<\/p>\n<p>the Revision Petition and while so doing to take note of the<\/p>\n<p>facts noted herein above by us.\n<\/p>\n<p>18.          Needless to state, on revival of the proceedings, the<\/p>\n<p>Financial Commissioner shall serve the respondents.<\/p>\n<p>19.          The appellant is directed to appear before the<\/p>\n<p>learned Financial Commissioner on 22.2.2010 and is further<\/p>\n<p>directed that on or before 1.2.2010 under cover of an<\/p>\n<p>application, certified copy of the present order would be filed<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">LPA No.346\/2004                                         Page 6 of 7<\/span><br \/>\n in the office of the learned Financial Commissioner so that the<\/p>\n<p>Reader of the learned Financial Commissioner can trace out<\/p>\n<p>the file of Case No.273\/2000-CA and list the same before the<\/p>\n<p>learned Financial Commissioner on 22.2.2010.<\/p>\n<p>20.
