Section 24 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006. One Kadir Khan

filed case for demarcation under Section 24 of the U.P. Revenue

Code, 2006, which was dismissed vide order dated 28.06.2019.

Case under Section 24 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 filed by

petitioners. He further submitted that the recall application and

the revision was filed before the courts below taking specific

petitioners, the appeal has been allowed and the order of the

trial court has been set aside, which is against the law. He

further submitted that orders passed by the Additional

Commissioner and the Board of Revenue be set aside and

matter be sent back to decide the matter afresh after giving
