HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR
Sanjeet Purohit, J
URN: CW / 18013U / 2026
S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 9819/2026



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Ram Raghunath
For the Respondents:

The court directed the Revenue Appellate Authority to expeditiously decide a pending appeal regarding land access under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act within a period of 45 days.

Headnote:The matter pertains to an application filed under Section 251-A of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act regarding the provision of a way to agricultural land. The petitioner sought directions for the expeditious disposal of an appeal pending before the Revenue Appellate Authority, Pali, which had stayed an order dated 08.04.2026 that had previously granted access to the land. The court observed that the interim stay had deprived the petitioner of access to his own agricultural land. The primary issue was whether the pending appeal should be decided within a specific timeframe to resolve the grievance of the petitioner. The court reasoned that looking to the peculiar facts of the case, it was appropriate to direct the appellate authority to decide the matter expeditiously. With these observations and directions, present writ petition is disposed of.

1. request for expedited disposal of an appeal concerning land access rights under tenancy law. (Para 1 , 2)
