The petitioner holding the agriculture land in Square No.<\/p>\n<p>             46\/2 and 46\/10 in Chak No. 5 GD made two applications dated<\/p>\n<p>             6.11.84 and 9.11.84 for allotment of small patches of land<\/p>\n<p>             adjacent to his land falling in Square No. 46\/2 and 46\/10,<\/p>\n<p>             measuring 4 bighas and 3 bighas respectively.

By the self<\/p>\n<p>same order the applications preferred by the petitioner for<\/p>\n<p>allotment as aforesaid were accepted and the aforesaid small<\/p>\n<p>patches were allotted to him.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    The respondent no. 5 preferred an appeal against the said<\/p>\n<p>order dated 4.12.84 before the Revenue Appellate Authority( in<\/p>\n<p>short &#8220;RAA&#8221;), Bikaner which was dismissed vide order dated<\/p>\n<p>28.4.86.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    Aggrieved by order dated 28.4.86, the respondent no. 5<\/p>\n<p>preferred an appeal before the Board. It was contended on<\/p>\n<p>behalf of respondent no. 5 before the Board that the land in<\/p>\n<p>question being Gair Mumkin land reserved for allotment for<\/p>\n<p>brick-kiln was not available for allotment. That apart, it was<\/p>\n<p>contended that the petitioner herein already possesses the land<\/p>\n<p>in excess of the ceiling limit and the Additional Commissioner<\/p>\n<p>without holding any inquiry, while deciding the appeal has<\/p>\n<p>wrongly held that the petitioner herein had two major sons and 9<\/p>\n<p>members in his family and therefore, the land held by him does<\/p>\n<p>not exceed the ceiling limit.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                     VAIDBAKASH VS.

After due consideration, the Board found that the lands in<\/p>\n<p>question do not fall within the definition of &#8220;small patch&#8221; and<\/p>\n<p>thus, were not allottable as small patches under Rule 14 of<\/p>\n<p>Rajasthan Colonisation (Allotment &amp; Sale of Government Land in<\/p>\n<p>Rajasthan Canal Colony Area) Rules 1975 ( in short &#8220;the Rules of<\/p>\n<p>1975&#8221; hereinafter). In view of the finding arrived at as aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>that the lands were not allottable as small patches under Rule 14<\/p>\n<p>of the Rules of 1975, the Board did not decide the question<\/p>\n<p>whether the petitioner was holding land in excess of the ceiling<\/p>\n<p>limit and was not eligible for allotment under Rule 14 of the<\/p>\n<p>Rules of 1975. The objection raised on behalf of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>regarding the locus standi of the respondent no. 5 to maintain<\/p>\n<p>the appeal and revision , the Board held that the allotment was<\/p>\n<p>made by the Assistant Colonisation Commissioner in flagrant<\/p>\n<p>violation   of   the   Rules   of    1975    therefore,    the   applicant,<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.5 herein, was entitled to challenge the allotment.<\/p>\n<p>That apart, the Board observed that the illegality in making<\/p>\n<p>allotment having come to the notice of the Board, it cannot shut<\/p>\n<p>its eyes to such an illegal and without jurisdiction act, which was<\/p>\n<p>upheld by the Appellate Authority in a most circumvent manner.\n<\/p>\n<p>                               VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, by the order impugned in this writ petition, while<\/p>\n<p>accepting the revision petition, the Board has set aside the<\/p>\n<p>orders of the Appellate Authority and Allotting Authority         and<\/p>\n<p>consequently, the allotment made in favour of the petitioner of<\/p>\n<p>the disputed small patches of land stands cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>6.   It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>that the petitioner being khatedar tenant of the lands adjacent to<\/p>\n<p>the small patches of land, was eligible for allotment under the<\/p>\n<p>Rules of 1975. The learned counsel submitted that admittedly<\/p>\n<p>while making the allotment, the lands were converted from Gair<\/p>\n<p>Mumkin to agriculture lands by the Allotting Authority who is also<\/p>\n<p>a Collector and therefore, there was no jurisdictional defect in<\/p>\n<p>the order of allotment. The learned counsel submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>land was cultivable land and the nature of the lands was declared<\/p>\n<p>by the Allotting Authority before the allotment as agriculture<\/p>\n<p>lands, therefore, the Board has seriously erred in holding that<\/p>\n<p>the lands in question were not allottable as small patches of land<\/p>\n<p>under Rule 14 of the Rules of 1975. The learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>submitted that petitioner is in cultivatory possession of the land<\/p>\n<p>till date and he was granted the khatedari rights by the Collector,<\/p>\n<p>Sri Ganganagar vide order dated 18.1.91 therefore, in absence<\/p>\n<p>of any fraud, manipulation or collusion on the part of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner the allotment cannot be cancelled.

STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>learned counsel has relied upon a decision of this court in the<\/p>\n<p>matter of &#8220;Mithu Singh vs. The State of Rajasthan&#8221;, 2007( 5)<\/p>\n<p>WLC, 265. The learned counsel has reiterated the contentions<\/p>\n<p>raised before the Board regarding the locus standi of the<\/p>\n<p>respondent no. 5 to maintain the appeal against the allotment<\/p>\n<p>order and so also the revision petition before the Board.<\/p>\n<p>7.   On the other hand, the learned Government Counsel<\/p>\n<p>submitted that the lands being neither irrigated nor un-irrigated<\/p>\n<p>agriculture lands were not available for allotment as small<\/p>\n<p>patches, therefore, the finding arrived at by the Board cannot be<\/p>\n<p>faulted with. The learned Government Counsel further submitted<\/p>\n<p>that the availability of the small patches of land was not notified<\/p>\n<p>by the Allotting Authority before the allotment therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>other concerned land holders of the adjacent lands could not<\/p>\n<p>make application for allotment and thus, the allotment made in<\/p>\n<p>favour of the petitioner is de hors the provisions of Rules of<\/p>\n<p>1975. The learned Counsel submitted that admittedly the lands<\/p>\n<p>were classified as &#8220;Gair Mumkin&#8221; and the Allotting Authority had<\/p>\n<p>no jurisdiction to convert the nature of the said lands from &#8220;Gair<\/p>\n<p>Mumkin&#8221; to &#8220;agriculture land&#8221;.The learned Government Counsel<\/p>\n<p>urged that the Allotting Authority had no jurisdiction to convert<\/p>\n<p>the land for agriculture purpose, which has been shown in the<\/p>\n<p>revenue record as &#8220;Abadi&#8221;.The learned Counsel submitted that in<br \/>\n                                VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                   (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>view of the illegalities committed by the Allotting Authority in<\/p>\n<p>making the allotment the respondent no. 5 who was allotted the<\/p>\n<p>land in Murabba no.46\/2 had a locus standi to maintain the<\/p>\n<p>appeal before the RAA so also the revision petition before the<\/p>\n<p>Board. It is submitted that the Board has rightly held that<\/p>\n<p>illegalities committed having come to its notice, it cannot shut its<\/p>\n<p>eyes to such an illegal and without jurisdiction act of the Allotting<\/p>\n<p>Authority upheld by the Appellate Authority.<\/p>\n<p>8.    I have considered the rival submissions and perused the<\/p>\n<p>material on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.    Admittedly, the allotment and sale of Government land in<\/p>\n<p>IGNP area are governed by the Rules of 1975 which have been<\/p>\n<p>framed by the State Government in exercise of its powers<\/p>\n<p>conferred by Section 7 read with Section 28 of the Act of 1954.<\/p>\n<p>The small patch has been defined under Rule 2(xvi) of the Rules<\/p>\n<p>of 1975 as a piece of land measuring 5 bighas of irrigated land<\/p>\n<p>and 10 bighas of un-irrigated land . As per second proviso to<\/p>\n<p>Rule 5 of the Rules of 1975, amongst the persons eligible for<\/p>\n<p>allotment of Government land for agriculture purpose , if a<\/p>\n<p>person is eligible for allotment of a small patch, such small patch<\/p>\n<p>shall be allotted to him only if it is available adjacent to his<\/p>\n<p>existing holding. The procedure for allotment of small patches of<\/p>\n<p>land in IGNP area is governed by Rule 14 of the Rules of 1975<br \/>\n                              VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                 (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>which is an exception carved out to the general allotment. The<\/p>\n<p>Rule 14 as it was existing at the relevant time when the<\/p>\n<p>allotment was made in favour of the petitioner reads as under:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;14. Allotment of small patch.-(1) Notwithstanding<br \/>\n      anything to the contrary contained in these rules, small<br \/>\n      patch of Government land may be allotted to a tenure<br \/>\n      tenant whose tenure land adjoins such patch, subject to<br \/>\n      the ceiling area at the highest prevailing market price for<br \/>\n      land of a similar soil class in the neighbourhood.<br \/>\n      (2) In cases there are more than one such tenant applying<br \/>\n      for allotment of the same small patch, allotment shall be<br \/>\n      made by drawal of lots amongst them.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (3) The price of such small patch shall be payable by the<br \/>\n      allottee in five annual instalments, the first instalment<br \/>\n      being payable within a fortnight of the order of allotment.<br \/>\n      The due date in respect of the second and subsequent<br \/>\n      instalments shall be the date of the year corresponding to<br \/>\n      the date on which the allotment was made. Interest at the<br \/>\n      rate of 9 per cent per annum shall be charged in default of<br \/>\n      payment of an instalment on the due date:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>            Provided that if such, small patch is allotted to a<br \/>\n      landless person to raise his holding to 25 bighas, the price<br \/>\n      and mode of payment shall be as prescribed in rule 17.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>10.   Rule 14 has been amended time to time . Vide notification<\/p>\n<p>dated 22.9.88, which was published in the official gazette on<\/p>\n<p>13.7.99, following proviso was added:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;Provided if the tenant of the adjoining land falls to apply<br \/>\n      for the allotment of small patch, the allotting authority<br \/>\n      shall make arrangement for making allotment of such<br \/>\n      small patch to the tenure tenant of the same chak or of<br \/>\n      the adjoining chak.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>11.   The present controversy relates to the allotment made in<\/p>\n<p>favour of the petitioner vide allotment letter dated 4.12.84<br \/>\n                               VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>therefore, the proviso added as aforesaid w.e.f. 13.7.89 has no<\/p>\n<p>applicability in the instant case. Therefore, as per the provisions<\/p>\n<p>of Rule 14 read with Rule 5 of the Rules of 1975 existing at the<\/p>\n<p>relevant time, the small patch of land i.e. measuring 5 bighas of<\/p>\n<p>irrigated or 10 bighas of un-irrigated      land could have been<\/p>\n<p>allotted only to tenure tenants of the tenure land adjoining to<\/p>\n<p>such small patches of Government land. However, as per sub-<\/p>\n<p>rule(2) , if there were more than one such tenant applying for<\/p>\n<p>allotment of such small patch, the allotment was required to be<\/p>\n<p>made by drawal of lots amongst them. Therefore, it goes without<\/p>\n<p>saying that before the allotment of small patches of land, the<\/p>\n<p>availability of the land for allotment has to be notified and the<\/p>\n<p>applications for allotment have to be invited even for allotment<\/p>\n<p>of small patches of land in terms of the provisions of Rule 9 of<\/p>\n<p>the Rules of 1975. Obviously, before the conversion of the land<\/p>\n<p>from &#8220;Gair Mumkin abadi&#8221; and &#8220;Gair Mumkin Brick-kiln&#8221; if<\/p>\n<p>permissible under the law, the other tenure tenants could not<\/p>\n<p>have any knowledge about the availability of the land for<\/p>\n<p>allotment as small patches,therefore, in absence of any proper<\/p>\n<p>notice notifying the availability of the land for allotment , they<\/p>\n<p>could not have applied for allotment of the land. Thus, the<\/p>\n<p>procedure adopted by the Allotting Authority in allotting the<\/p>\n<p>small patches of land taking straight away the applications from<br \/>\n                                    VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the petitioner ignoring the possible claim for allotment of other<\/p>\n<p>tenure tenants of tenure land adjoining to the small patches of<\/p>\n<p>land is ex facie de hors the Rules of 1975.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.     As noticed above, only small patch of land as defined under<\/p>\n<p>Rule 2 (xvi) of the Rules of 1975 could be allotted to the tenure<\/p>\n<p>tenants of tenure land adjoining to such small patch of land<\/p>\n<p>therefore, the Allotting Authority had no jurisdiction whatsoever<\/p>\n<p>to allot the lands in question which as per the revenue record<\/p>\n<p>were categorised as &#8220;Gair Mumkin Abadi&#8221; and &#8220;Gair Mumkin<\/p>\n<p>Brick-Kiln&#8221;. Moreover, the &#8220;land&#8221; as defined by Section 5 (24) of<\/p>\n<p>the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955( in short &#8220;the Act of 1955&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>hereinafter) specifically excludes abadi land from the category of<\/p>\n<p>the land to be dealt with under the provisions of Act of 1955.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Section 16 (vi) of the Act of 1955 specifically prohibits<\/p>\n<p>the accrual of khatedari rights in the land acquired or held for<\/p>\n<p>public purpose or a work of public utility. The land set apart for<\/p>\n<p>abadi is a land for public purpose and not available for allotment<\/p>\n<p>A     fortiori,   there   was   absolutely   no   proposal   mooted     for<\/p>\n<p>conversion of the land from &#8220;Gair Mumkin Abadi&#8221; and &#8220;Gair<\/p>\n<p>Mumkin Brick-kiln&#8221; to agriculture purpose. The learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>for the petitioner has not been able to point out any provision<\/p>\n<p>which enables the Allotting Authority to convert the land from<\/p>\n<p>abadi to agriculture purpose. It is really strange that while<br \/>\n                                    VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>converting the land set apart for &#8220;abadi&#8221; and &#8220;brick-kiln&#8221; to<\/p>\n<p>agriculture purpose, no finding is recorded by the Allotting<\/p>\n<p>Authority that the lands in question are culturable lands. To the<\/p>\n<p>contrary, it has come on record that the buildings are existing on<\/p>\n<p>the land in question but the same are not used for last two<\/p>\n<p>years. Further, it has been categorically mentioned in the order<\/p>\n<p>that the land is situated nearer to abadi then, there was<\/p>\n<p>absolutely no occasion for the Allotting Authority to convert the<\/p>\n<p>land for agriculture purpose ignoring its beneficial use for abadi<\/p>\n<p>purpose. To say the least, the conversion of the land use by the<\/p>\n<p>Allotting Authority in perfunctory manner while considering the<\/p>\n<p>applications of the petitioners for allotment of the land as small<\/p>\n<p>patches smacks mala fide and favoritism which cannot be<\/p>\n<p>countenanced by this court.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.   In Mithu Singh&#8217;s case (supra), relied upon by the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner , this court has taken the view that<\/p>\n<p>where a &#8220;Gair Mumkin land&#8221; was converted into &#8220;barani&#8221; and<\/p>\n<p>allotted   to   the   petitioner    therein    in   absence     of   fraud,<\/p>\n<p>manipulation or collusion in allotment, the cancellation of<\/p>\n<p>allotment by way of reference after a lapse of more than 25<\/p>\n<p>years would be illegal and void.\n<\/p>\n<p>      In the instant case, the validity of the allotment made in<\/p>\n<p>favour of the petitioner vide order dated 4.12.84 was assailed by<br \/>\n                               VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                11<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the respondent no. 5 by way of appeal in the year 1985 and the<\/p>\n<p>appeal was rejected by the Appellate Authority vide order dated<\/p>\n<p>28.4.86 and immediately thereafter, a revision petition was<\/p>\n<p>preferred by the respondent no. 5 before the Board which has<\/p>\n<p>been allowed by the order impugned dated 6.8.93. Therefore, by<\/p>\n<p>no stretch of imagination , the challenge to the allotment made<\/p>\n<p>in favour of the petitioner in the instant case can be said to be<\/p>\n<p>belated. Thus, the ratio of the decision relied upon by the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the petitioner has no applicability whatsoever<\/p>\n<p>to the facts of the present case.\n<\/p>\n<p>14.   It has come on record that the respondent had preferred<\/p>\n<p>the appeal against the allotment order stating that he has<\/p>\n<p>purchased the land comprising Murabba No. 46\/2 and therefore,<\/p>\n<p>they are entitled for allotment of the disputed land of Kila No. 6<\/p>\n<p>and 14 to 16 . In this view of the matter, it cannot be said that<\/p>\n<p>the respondent no. 2 had no locus standi to maintain the appeal<\/p>\n<p>or revision. Moreover, this court is in agreement with the view<\/p>\n<p>taken by the Board that the gross illegality committed in making<\/p>\n<p>allotment having come to the notice , the Board cannot shut its<\/p>\n<p>eyes to illegal and without jurisdiction act of the Allotting<\/p>\n<p>Authority which was upheld by the Appellate Authority in<\/p>\n<p>circumvent manner. Thus, the revisional power exercised by the<\/p>\n<p>Board in setting aside the allotment made by the Allotting<br \/>\n                                              VAIDBAKASH VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN &amp; ORS.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                 (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3528\/96)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               12<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           Authority acting without jurisdiction cannot be faulted with and<\/p>\n<p>           does not warrant any interference by this court in exercise of its<\/p>\n<p>           supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of<\/p>\n<p>           India.\n<\/p>\n<p>           15.
