The said order is challenged by the petitioners before the SSRD wherein pending the revision application, there was an order of status quo and the operation of the Collector was stayed, however, finally the revision is rejected by the impugned order dated 20.03.2026 which has given rise to the filing of the present petition.

Thereafter, challenging the said judgment, the petitioners preferred Regular Appeal No. 49 of 2015 before the District Court, Gandhinagar. However, in appeal proceedings, the parties arrived at a settlement wherein by order dated 15.04.2017 order came to be disposed of in terms of settlement.
