Revenue Courts
V. Srinivas1
Shri S.D. Dadhich, President of the District Bar Association, Bundi, Shri Amit
Nimbark, Secretary of the District Bar Association, Senior Advocate Shri Ramdutt
Sharma ji, other senior advocates and members of the Bar, my distinguished
colleagues the district collector, the revenue appellate authority, all additional
district collectors and all Sub Divisional Officers (SDOs) of Bundi district: I am
delighted to address the District Revenue Bar Association, Bundi today; I see in
attendance a large number of very experienced men who have spent a lifetime in
handling revenue litigation.1 On 6 October, 2017, on assumption of charge as the
forty-seventh chairman of the Board of Revenue for Rajasthan, I acknowledged in
my address to the Rajasthan Revenue Bar Association at Ajmer the immense
contribution and the formidable legacy of several senior advocates, namely, Shri
Onkarlal Dave, Shri Purna Shankar Dashora and Shri Yagya Dutt Sharma for
improving the justice delivery system of Rajasthan. On this occasion, I offer my
tributes to the legendary advocate late Shri Bhawani Singh ji Shaktawat, who had
been a towering presence in the court room and an exemplary role model for
advocates in the revenue courts representing the highest values of legal knowledge,
commitment, preparedness and punctuality. The presence of a knowledgeable and
energetic group of senior advocates in District Revenue Bar Associations augurs
well for the long-term sustainability of justice delivery systems in the Revenue
Courts of Rajasthan.
You wanted me to outline my vision for improving the justice delivery system
in the revenue courts of Rajasthan, given the challenges of high levels of case
pendency, predictability and consistency in the sittings of trial courts and the
1 IAS, served as Chairman, Board of Revenue for Rajasthan, District Revenue Bar Association, Bundi
Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, from July 2017 to December 2018.
