Respondent No. 5 was<br \/>\ninitially   appointed  as  Kotwar  of  village   Kherdongri.<br \/>\nHowever,  on  account of registration  of  a  criminal  case<br \/>\nagainst him, his son Shatrughan was temporarily appointed as<br \/>\nKotwar  of  village  Kherdongri on  03.11.1989.  It  is  not<br \/>\ndisputed  that earlier the village Madanpur was a  dependent<br \/>\nvillage  of  Kherdongri  and Kotwar  appointed  for  village<br \/>\nKherdongri  used  to  look after the  affairs  of  dependent<br \/>\nvillage Madanpur. This practice continued till 6.3.1991 when<br \/>\nin  Revenue Case No.13-B\/21\/90-91, a decision was  taken  to<br \/>\nappoint a separate Kotwar for village Madanpur. Pursuant  to<br \/>\nthis  decision, on 26.3.1991 after following  due  procedure<br \/>\nthe  petitioner was appointed as Kotwar of village  Madanpur<br \/>\ntemporarily  and this temporary appointment was subsequently<br \/>\nconfirmed on 17.6.1998.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    After  acquittal of respondent No. 5 in  the  criminal<br \/>\ncase he filed an application before the Tahsildar, Pandariya<br \/>\nseeking cancellation of the appointment of the petitioner as<br \/>\nKotwar of village Madanpur. This request of respondent No. 5<br \/>\nwas  allowed  by  the Tahsildar and he was  directed  to  be<br \/>\nreinstated  as  Kotwar of village Madanpur.  This  order  of<br \/>\nTahsildar  was  assailed before the Sub Divisional  Officer,<br \/>\nPandariya who vide order dated 30.5.2000 set aside the order<br \/>\npassed by the Tahsildar and directed the respondent No. 5 to<br \/>\nmove  an  application  for his reinstatement  as  Kotwar  of<br \/>\nVillage  Kherdongri.  It was further  directed  by  the  Sub<br \/>\nDivisional Officer, Pandariya that if the appointment of the<br \/>\nson  of  respondent  No. 5 namely Shatrughan  as  Kotwar  of<br \/>\nvillage  Kherdongri has been confirmed, in order to fill  up<br \/>\nthe  said  post the revenue proceedings should be  initiated<br \/>\nfor his removal in accordance with law.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    The order of the Sub Divisional Officer was challenged<br \/>\nby  respondent No. 5 before the Board of Revenue.  The Board<br \/>\nof Revenue vide order dated 13-01-2005 allowed the appeal of<br \/>\nrespondent  No.  5  and quashed the order  dated  30-05-2000<br \/>\npassed  by  Sub  Divisional Officer,  Pandariya.    However,<br \/>\nliberty was given to respondent No. 5 to file an application<br \/>\nfor   his   reinstatement  as  Kotwar  of   either   village<br \/>\nKherdongari  or  village Madanpur within a period  of  seven<br \/>\ndays  there  from. In compliance with this order  respondent<br \/>\nNo.  5  had already moved an application for appointment  as<br \/>\nKotwar  of  village  Madanpur  on  24-01-2005  before   Naib<br \/>\nTahsildar,  Pandariya which is still pending  there.  It  is<br \/>\nrelevant  to  mention  here  that  when  Criminal  case  was<br \/>\nregistered   against  respondent  No.  5,  his  son   namely<br \/>\nShatrughan was temporarily appointed as village Kotwar.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    Contention  of  counsel for  the  petitioner  is  that<br \/>\ninitially  village  Madanpur  was  a  dependent  village  of<br \/>\nKherdongari but with effect from 06-03-1991 a separate  post<br \/>\nof  Kotwar  was  sanctioned  for village  Madanpur  and  the<br \/>\npetitioner  was  appointed as Kotwar of this  village  after<br \/>\nfollowing   due   procedure  of  law.    He   submits   that<br \/>\nsubsequently appointment of the petitioner was confirmed  on<br \/>\n17-06-1998  and thus under no circumstance the post  of  the<br \/>\npetitioner can be filled up by respondent No. 5 as  directed<br \/>\nby  Board  of  Revenue.  He submits that at  best  Board  of<br \/>\nRevenue  could  have directed for appointment of  respondent<br \/>\nNo.  5  as  Kotwar of village Kherdongari where his  son  is<br \/>\nalready working as Kotwar.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.    On the other hand counsel for respondent\/State as also<br \/>\ncounsel for respondent No. 5 submit that appointment of  the<br \/>\npetitioner   was  temporary  in  character  and   once   the<br \/>\nrespondent  No.  5  was  appointed  as  Kotwar  of   village<br \/>\nKherdongari  and  was taking care of the  dependent  village<br \/>\nMadanpur  also, he has a right to be appointed as Kotwar  of<br \/>\nvillage Madanpur.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    Heard counsel for the parties and perused the material<br \/>\navailable on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    Admittedly respondent No. 5 was appointed as Kotwar of<br \/>\nvillage  Kherdongari and he was taking care of its dependent<br \/>\nvillage  Madanpur also.  It is also not disputed  that  when<br \/>\nthe  criminal proceedings were initiated against  respondent<br \/>\nNo.  5,  he  was removed from the post of Kotwar of  village<br \/>\nKherdongari and his son Shatrughan was temporarily appointed<br \/>\nas Kotwar of that village.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    After  creation  of  new post of  Kotwar  for  village<br \/>\nMadanpur  vide  Revenue Case No.13-B\/21\/90-91 w.e.f.  26-03-<br \/>\n1991  and after following due procedure of law as prescribed<br \/>\nin  the  Rules  framed under Section 230 of  the  M.P.  Land<br \/>\nRevenue  Code,  the petitioner was appointed  as  Kotwar  of<br \/>\nvillage  Madanpur.  It is nobody&#8217;s case that appointment  of<br \/>\nthe  petitioner  on the post of Kotwar was  illegal  in  any<br \/>\nmanner.    The only grievance of respondent No.  5  is  that<br \/>\nafter  his acquittal in the criminal case he has a right  to<br \/>\nbe appointed as a Kotwar of village Madanpur.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.    I find force in the submission of the counsel for  the<br \/>\npetitioner that post of Kotwar of village Madanpur w.e.f. 26-<br \/>\n03-1991 has nothing to do with the earlier appointed  Kotwar<br \/>\nof village Kherdongri.   Once after following due procedure,<br \/>\nthe   petitioner  was  appointed  as  Kotwar  of   Madanpur,<br \/>\nrespondent No. 5 has no right whatsoever to be appointed  or<br \/>\neven  to  be considered for appointment as Kotwar of village<br \/>\nMadanpur.     Respondent  No.  5  was  Kotwar   of   village<br \/>\nKherdongari and against the said post his son Shatrughan was<br \/>\ntemporarily appointed in his absence.   If respondent No.  5<br \/>\nhas  any  grievance,  he can claim the  post  of  Kotwar  of<br \/>\nvillage Kherdongari and not for village Madanpur.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.   The  direction  given  by  the  Board  of  Revenue  to<br \/>\nrespondent No. 5 for filing an application within seven days<br \/>\nthere   from   for  consideration  of  his  case   regarding<br \/>\nappointment to the post of Kotwar of village Madanpur  being<br \/>\nunjustified  is totally uncalled for and therefore,  it  can<br \/>\nnot  be  sustained  in  the eye of  law.   Accordingly,  the<br \/>\npetition  is  allowed and the order of Board of  Revenue  to<br \/>\nthis effect is set-aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                  J U D G E<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chattisgarh High Court Raturam vs The Board Of Revenue &amp; Others on 22 July, 2009 HIGH COURT OF CHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR Writ Petition No.1042 of 2005 Raturam &#8230;Petitioners VERSUS The Board of Revenue &amp; others &#8230;Respondents !
