Judgment:

Amitava Roy, C.J., (Jaipur Bench)

  1. The judgment and order dt. 26.08.2011, passed in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 11183/2011, constitutes the subject matter of challenge in the instant appeal. We have heard Mr. K.K. Mehrishi, the learned Senior Counsel assisted by Mr. Timan Singh, Advocate, for the appellant.

  2. Briefly stated the facts, necessary for the disposal of the instant appeal, are that the predecessor in interest of respondent Nos. 5/1, 5/2, 6/1, 6/2, 7/1 and 7/2, had instituted a suit in the Court of Sub Divisional Officer, Kota, praying for a decree for declaration and perpetual injunction against the appellant/writ-petitioner and others contending that the Settlement Department had converted the land of their Khatedari and possession comprised in old Khasra No. 267 (Bada), measuring 4 Biswa, situated in Village Kanwalda, Tehsil Pipalda, into new Khasra No. 436, measuring 0.04 hectare and on changing the location thereof from its original place, it wrongly showed the same as being situated in the Talai. It was alleged that thereby the old Naksha Trace was changed and their land was shown as Gair Mumkin Rasta, which ought to be corrected and they ought to be declared Khatedar of the land according to the old Naksha Trace. Perpetual injunction was also sought for against the defendants therein for restraining them from interfering with their possession.

  3. The appellant/writ-petitioner, in his written statement, denied the pleaded averments and on the basis thereof, issues were framed. By the judgment and order dt. 16.06.1998, the suit, on full trial, was dismissed for want of necessary clarity and evidence. Being aggrieved, the plaintiffs preferred an appeal in the Court of Revenue Appellate Authority, Kota under the Rajasthan Tenancy At, 1955 (for short, hereafter referred to as 'the Act') and the first Appellate Authority by its decision dt. 13.07.2001, partly allowed the same and remitted the matter back to the Sub Divisional Officer, Kota, directing it to resolve the dispute with reference to the revenue records existing prior to the settlement and that prepared after the same and also by making measurements of the land involved. The appellant/writ-petitioner being dissatisfied, unsuccessfully preferred an appeal before the learned Board of Revenue, which dismissed the same by judgment and order dt. 22.06.2011. The learned Single Judge by the impugned judgment and order, affirmed the verdict of the learned Board...
