iv. Any other order of direction, which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present case may kindly be passed in favour of the humble petitioner.”

2. At the outset this Court clarifies that the impugned judgment dated 25.09.2025 has been rendered by the learned Single Judge while deciding a batch of writ petitions raising a common challenge to the creation of new Revenue Villages. However, the present D.B. Civil Special Appeal (Writ) has been preferred only by the appellants herein, who were petitioners in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 11603/2025, and their grievance is confined strictly to the adjudication of their said writ petition. Accordingly, the consideration and decision in the present appeal shall be restricted to the legality and correctness of the impugned judgment insofar as it pertains to S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 11603/2025 alone, and it is clarified that the findings and conclusions recorded herein shall not affect or govern the cases of other writ petitioners, which were disposed of by the common judgment and are not the subject matter of the present appeal.

3. The brief facts due to which the instant controversy has emanated are that the appellants are residents of Gram Panchayat Bhadrana, Panchayat Samiti Sanchore, District Jalore. In exercise of powers conferred under Section 16 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956, the State Government issued a notification dated 06.04.2025, whereby a new Revenue Village, namely ‘Bhagwanji Ki Dhani’, came to be constituted by reorganisation of areas falling within the jurisdiction of existing revenue villages in the concerned region.

3.1. Aggrieved by the issuance of the aforesaid notification, the appellants approached this Court by filing S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 11603/2025, seeking judicial review of the notification creating the new Revenue Village. The said writ petition came to be heard along with a batch of writ petitions raising similar challenges to the creation and naming of newly constituted Revenue Villages in different districts of the State. The learned Single Judge, by a common judgment dated 25.09.2025, dismissed the batch of writ petitions, including the writ petition filed by the appellants herein, primarily on the basis that the issues raised stood covered by an earlier judgment rendered in Mala Ram & Anr. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors. (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 14930/2025, decided on 23.09.2025

3.2. Subsequent thereto, the appellants preferred the present intra-court appeal questioning the correctness of the judgment dated 25.09.2025 insofar as it relates to their writ petition. During the pendency of the appeal, the respondent-State filed an additional affidavit, inter alia, explaining the administrative basis for the creation of the new Revenue Village and the manner in which the distance an
