JUDGMENT :
(Kshitij Shailendra, J.) :
Supplementary-affidavit filed today is taken on record.
2. Heard Shri Manu Saxena, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents and Shir Azad Rai, learned counsel representing the Gaon Sabha.
3. Certain orders were passed under Section 38 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 on 24.2.2020 and 28.7.2022.
4. This Court passed the following interim order dated 6.1.2023 in Writ C No. 211 of 2023 (Vatika Grah Gram Samiti Allahabad v. Commissioner Prayagraj Division and 7 others), staying the effect and operation of the aforesaid orders as well as directing that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land in dispute:
Counsel for the petitioner is not pressing the writ petition in respect to prayer No. C as such writ petition is being entertained in res
The court established that expunging entries from revenue records without a hearing violates the principles of natural justice.
A writ petition can be entertained despite the availability of an alternative remedy when the impugned order violates principles of natural justice.
Proper opportunity of hearing must be afforded before expunging a petitioner's land ownership under Section 38(1) of U.P. Revenue Code-2006.
Summary proceedings under the U.P. Revenue Code cannot adjudicate title disputes; petitioners may seek declaration of rights through a regular suit.
The court established that revenue entries must be corrected following the abatement of prior proceedings, regardless of the section under which the application was made.
A party must disclose all relevant prior proceedings when filing a suit; failure to do so results in the suit being deemed not maintainable.
Ejectment orders must follow proper procedure, including adequate hearing and survey, and appeals should be decided on merits rather than technical grounds.
