Zamindari Abolition And Land Reforms Act, 1950 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’) and for mandamus for directing Assistant Collector to decide the suit expeditiously.
3. Mohammad Iqbal Mahmood Kazim (respondent-1) filed a suit (registered as Suit No. 134/155) under Section 229-B of the Act, for declaring that various sale-deeds executed by Shamim Kazim (father of defendant-1) as null and void, declaring the plaintiff as ‘bhumidhar with transferable right’, recording his name in revenue records and for deleting name of Asad Kazim from the land recorded in khata 00026 of village Raxwara, pargana Karari, district Kaushambi. The plaintiff took plea that land in dispute was ancestral property. In family settlement, it came in share of Asad Kazim and recorded in his name. Asad Kazim died in the age of 11 years and was inherited by the plaintiff. Shamim Kazim (father of defendant-1) executed various sale-deeds of the land in dispute on the basis of forged Power of Attorney of Asad Kazim. His transferees also executed sale-deed. These sale-deeds are null and void.
4. The petitioner filed an application dated 3.11.2012, for his impleadment as the defendant in the suit. The impleadment application was contested by the plaintiff, who filed his objection and stated that Haider Ali Kazim was his younger brother and he had no objection in his impleadment in the suit. But by adding his alias names as Asad Kazim, he wants to grab the land of Asam Kazim, who had already died as such he cannot be impleaded as Haider Ali Kazim @ Asad Kazim.
5. Assistant Collector, by order dated 10.12.2012, allowed the impleadment application. Respondent-1 filed a Revision (registered as Revision No. 40 of 2012-2013) from the aforesaid order. Board of Revenue U.P. allowed the revision by order dated 13.11.2014, giving liberty to the plaintiff to file a recall application before Assistant Collector, who was directed to pass fresh order after hearing the parties on impleadment application. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed an application dated 16.12.2014 before Assistant Collector to recall the order dated 10.12.2012. Assistant Collector by his order dated 31.1.2015 again allowed the impleadment application. The plaintiff again filed another application dated 10.2.2015 for recalling order dated 31.1.2015, and decide impleadment application after giving opportunity of evidence to the parties. Trial Court, after hearing the parties, by order dated 25.4.2016 held that the issue which are being raised by the plaintiff are matter of evidence, which can be decided after taking evidence of the parties and not at the time of deciding impleadment application. On these findings, recall application was rejected.
6. The plaintiff filed an revision (registered as Revision No. 760 of 2016) from the aforesaid order. Member, Board of Revenue, U.P., by order dated 30.6.2016, allowed the revision and directed Trial Court to implead Haider Ali Kazim as defendant in the suit and frame an Issue as to whether Haider Ali Kazim @ Asad Kazim is one person or not? Hence this writ petition has been filed.
7. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that order dated 10.12.2012 has become final. Assistant Collector has not committed any illegality in rejecting recall application filed by the plaintiff by order dated 31.1.2015. Subsequent recall application was also not maintainable.
