VIVEK RUSIA
Prakash Kunwar – Appellant
Versus
Revenue Department – Respondent
ORDER
1. Regard being had to the similitude of the controversy involved in the present petitions, they are being heard analogously and disposed of by this common order.
2. Petitioner has filed the present petitions challenging the orders dated 19.8.2019 (Annexure P/1), 7.11.2019 (Annexure P/2) and 17.3.2020 (Annexure P/3) passed by the Revenue Authorities.
3. Initially, the respondent No. 5 has moved an application dated 5.6.2018 before the Tehsildar Dewas under section 250 of the MP Land Revenue Code, 1959 ('MPLRC' for short) for demarcation and eviction of petitioner from their land situated at village Karnakhedi, Tehsil Dewas. The demarcation proceedings were conducted by the Revenue Inspector, Circle-I on 3.12.2017. In the said demarcation proceedings, the petitioner was found in encroachment over 0.032 hectares in Survey No. 243/4 and 243/3/1 (in W.P.No. 8327/2020) and 0.099 hectares in Survey No. 253 and 254 (in W.P.No. 8370/2020) situated at village Karnakhedi, Tehsil Dewas. Report to that effect were submitted to the Tehsildar on 15.2.2018.
4. Petitioner appeared and contested the said proceedings inter alia on the ground that no notice of demarcation was served upon her. Even
Finality of demarcation proceedings under section 129 of the M. P. Land Revenue Code cannot be contested in subsequent applications under section 250.
The Naib Tehsildar improperly dismissed the demarcation application based on objections not permissible at that stage, violating statutory procedures under Section 129 of the MPLRC.
The principles of natural justice require proper notice and opportunity to be heard before decisions affecting rights are made; failure to comply invalidates proceedings.
