Order 28/01/2025 Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The present writ petition has been filed with the following prayers : -
"(A) The impugned judgments dated 10.12.2024 (Ann.9) passed by learned Board of Revenue, Ajmer in revision 8707/2024 and order dated 18.11.2024 (Ann.5) passed by Sub Divisional Officer, Siwana (Downloaded on 28/01/2025 at 11:01:09 PM) [2025:RJ-JD:5388] (2 of 3) [CW-21695/2024] dismissing the application of re-inspection may kindly be quashed and set aside.
(B) The Sub Divisional Officer, Siwana may kindly be directed to take the fresh site report from the Tehsildar in presence of the petitioner along with the photographs of existed way of Khasra No.909/490 to approaching the field of respondent Kheema Ram and allowed the application dated 30.09.2024 filed by petitioner".
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the site inspection of the land in question has been made by the concerned Patwari and Tehsildar in the absence of the petitioner and, therefore, she was deprived from reflecting the correct factual aspect before the Inspecting Team. He further submits that without giving proper opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, her right to file reply has also been closed by the concerned authority. He, therefore, prays that the writ petition may be allowed and the concerned authority may be directed to reinspect the site in presence of the petitioner and they may also be directed to permit the petitioner to file reply.
Learned counsel for the respondent is not in a position to controvert the fact that the site in question was inspected in the absence of the petitioner. Learned counsel has also not objected the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner to grant one more opportunity to the petitioner to file reply.
In view of the submissions made before this Court, the present writ petition merits acceptance and the same is allowed. The order dated 10.12.2024 passed by the Board of Revenue and the order dated 18.11.2024 passed by the Sub Divisional Officer, Siwana are quashed and set aside and the respondent No.6 - (Downloaded on 28/01/2025 at 11:01:09 PM)
[2025:RJ-JD:5388] (3 of 3) [CW-21695/2024] Tehsildar Samadari is directed to reinspect the site in question in presence of both the parties within a period of four weeks from today and thereafter prepare the new site inspection report to be submitted before the learned Sub Divisional Officer, Siwana.
It is also ordered that the respondent No. 7 - the Sub Divisional Officer, Siwana shall extend one more opportunity of filing reply to the petitioner. If the same is not filed within a period of four weeks from today, the right to file reply of the petitioner shall be closed.
The stay application and other pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
