It was contended on<\/p>\n<p>behalf of the allottee before the Revisional Authority that in its<\/p>\n<p>meeting dated 07.12.1979 that was presided by the Up-<\/p>\n<p>Sarpanch, the Panchayat adopted the resolution whereby 27<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                               2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>plots were allotted and therein, allotment was also made in her<\/p>\n<p>favour on the price of Rs.200\/-that was the same as charged<\/p>\n<p>in relation to the other plots of land and sanction was also<\/p>\n<p>obtained from the Assistant Collector, Sriganganagar. It was<\/p>\n<p>also contended that there was no proof about the land in<\/p>\n<p>question being a part of public road; that allotments       were<\/p>\n<p>made 17 years back and if at all it were a part of public land,<\/p>\n<p>the dispute would have arisen long before. It was further<\/p>\n<p>contended that the allotments were made duly in accordance<\/p>\n<p>with law and the petition had been filed with oblique intentions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      The learned Additional Collector proceeded to reject the<\/p>\n<p>revision petition so filed by the present petitioners on the<\/p>\n<p>consideration that the land was allotted by way of open auction<\/p>\n<p>wherein the non-applicant had been the highest bidder; and<\/p>\n<p>about 27 plots were auctioned on the given date and the price<\/p>\n<p>in relation to other plots was nearly the same and that no<\/p>\n<p>irregularity was noticed in the matter.

It is also submitted that the revision petition<\/p>\n<p>was filed only upon the petitioners&#8217; coming to know of the<\/p>\n<p>allotment when the adopted son of Sarpanch Sukh Ram<\/p>\n<p>attempted to raise construction on the disputed plot.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">      Per contra, it is contended on behalf of the respondents<\/p>\n<p>that the respondent No.4 had purchased the abadi land in<\/p>\n<p>open auction on the basis of the highest bid and the land has<\/p>\n<p>rightly been transferred to her; that there is no illegality or<\/p>\n<p>impropriety in the order particularly when 27 plots were put to<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                               4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>auction and price of other plots is almost equal to the auction<\/p>\n<p>price paid by the respondent No.4.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">      Having given a thoughtful consideration to the entire<\/p>\n<p>matter, this Court is clearly of opinion that the cursory order<\/p>\n<p>(Annex.6) as passed by the learned Additional Collector in<\/p>\n<p>disposal of the revision petition cannot be approved.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">      As noticed above, the essential considerations weighing<\/p>\n<p>with the learned Revisional Authority had been that the plot<\/p>\n<p>was allotted in open auction and the respondent No.4 had<\/p>\n<p>been the highest bidder; and that the Panchayat had<\/p>\n<p>auctioned 27 plots and price in relation to other plots was also<\/p>\n<p>about the same. However, a fundamental snag is noticed in<\/p>\n<p>the matter that the respondent No.4 has been allotted not one<\/p>\n<p>but two plots of land bearing Nos.415 and 416. If at all it be<\/p>\n<p>assumed that there had been auction proceedings and<\/p>\n<p>different plots of land were allotted by way of such auction, it<\/p>\n<p>has not been given out as to what had been the<\/p>\n<p>measurements of the other plots put to auction and if the other<\/p>\n<p>bidders put their bids in relation to one plot of land or more?<\/p>\n<p>Then, The resolution dated 07.12.1979 is lacking in material<\/p>\n<p>particulars about identification numbers and measurements of<\/p>\n<p>the plots so auctioned and their location. It is also noticed<\/p>\n<p>from the resolution dated 07.12.1979 that in relation to at least<\/p>\n<p>one person Shishpal Singh son of Balraj, the auction price is<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>stated at Rs.500\/-. It was seriously questionable             if the<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.4 extended the bid for one plot or more? The<\/p>\n<p>fact could not have been ignored altogether that the<\/p>\n<p>questioned allotment had been to none other than wife of the<\/p>\n<p>then Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat; and it is also<\/p>\n<p>noteworthy that on the basis of the resolution dated<\/p>\n<p>07.12.1979, the patta came to be issued only in the year 1983.<\/p>\n<p>.        Having regard to the overall facts and circumstances,<\/p>\n<p>this Court is clearly of opinion that the consideration of the<\/p>\n<p>revision petition as filed by the petitioners by the Revisional<\/p>\n<p>Authority has fallen short of the requirements of adequate<\/p>\n<p>adjudication of the questions calling for determination with<\/p>\n<p>reference to the relevant record; and of the decision of the<\/p>\n<p>matter by a reasoned and speaking order.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">         In this view of the matter, this Court is of opinion that it<\/p>\n<p>shall be in the interest of justice to set aside the impugned<\/p>\n<p>order and to restore the said revision petition to the file of<\/p>\n<p>Additional     Collector   (Administration),   Sriganganagar      for<\/p>\n<p>disposal in accordance with law after examining the concerned<\/p>\n<p>record and after extending adequate opportunity of hearing to<\/p>\n<p>the concerned parties; and by way of a reasoned speaking<\/p>\n<p>order.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">         In the result, this writ petition succeeds and is allowed<\/p>\n<p>to the extent indicated above; the impugned order dated<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>06.02.1996 (Annex.6) is quashed and set aside; Panchayat<\/p>\n<p>Revision Petition No.8\/1996 shall stand restored to the file of<\/p>\n<p>the Additional Collector (Administration), Sriganganagar who<\/p>\n<p>shall re-consider and decide the same in accordance with law<\/p>\n<p>while keeping in view the observations foregoing. The parties<\/p>\n<p>through their counsel present before this Court shall stand at<\/p>\n<p>notice to appear before the said Revisional Authority on<\/p>\n<p>02.04.2009.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">      Having regard to the circumstances of the case, the<\/p>\n<p>parties are left to bear their own costs of this writ petition.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">                                    (DINESH MAHESHWARI), J.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">\nMK\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court &#8211; Jodhpur Devi Lal &amp; Ors vs State &amp; Ors on 3 March, 2009 1 S.B.
