Order
1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The present writ petition has been filed with the following prayer :-
(1). The respondents may be restrained from creating new revenue village in the name and style of Chain Sagar, Tehsil Shergarh, District Jodhpur and in case, they have issued any notification then the same may kindly be quashed and set-aside.”
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per Clause-4 of the circular dated 20.08.2009 issued by the State Government, it is clear that no revenue village shall be named on the basis of any person, religion, caste etc. whereas, the present revenue village is in the name and style of ‘Chain Sagar’ which is in the name of father of Malam Singh (the then Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Gada, Tehsil Shergarh, District Jodhpur), Mohan Singh, Bhawani Singh & Khet Singh. Learned counsel further submits that thus it is clear that the creation of revenue village in the name of ‘Chain Sagar’ is in violation of the provisions contained in the ci
The naming of a revenue village as 'Chain Sagar' does not violate the circular prohibiting names based on individuals, religion, or caste, as it is not similar to any person's name.
The court ruled that new circulars allowing arbitrary naming of revenue villages violate established guidelines and undermine communal harmony.
The creation of new revenue villages must adhere to guidelines preventing names that favor specific castes or religions, ensuring communal harmony.
The creation of Revenue Villages must adhere to naming policies to maintain communal harmony, and notifications violating these policies lack legal sanctity.
The court upheld renaming cities under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, affirming that such actions were procedurally valid and not justiciable based on subjective historical claims.
