Judgment

10/01/2022

1. This contempt petition has been preferred by the petitioner

for non-compliance of the directions given by this Court in the

order dated 27.02.2017 in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1576/2017,

stating that on the land of Khasra No.3695 over an area of 3

biswa, two private persons namely, Shri Buddhi Prakash Sharma

and Shri Nandkishor Sharma have raised encroachment and have

constructed the shops, which have not been removed by the

(2 of 6) [CCP-252/2018]

respondents and the orders dated 27.02.2017 has been defied by

respondents.

2. Learned counsel for petitioner in order to make compliance

of the order dated 27.02.2017 submitted a representation before

the respondents-authorities on 27.03.2017 and then 03.10.2017

(Annxure Nos.2 & 3) along with the previous representation dated

19.11.2016 (Annexure No.5). The grievance of the petitioner is

that her representations have not been considered in their

entirety, and although it is apparent from the report of Patwari

dated 08.05.2014 (Annexure No.7) that over the land of 3 biswa

of Khasra No.3696 encroachment exists and due to which the flow

of the pond's water has been obstructed. It has not been disputed

that such 3 biswa land of Khasra No.3696 has been recorded as

3695/3 rakba 0.03 kism "chahi 3" in jamabandi Samwat 2068-71

in the khatedar of Shri Buddhi Prakash Sharma under the Khata

No.312 since 1979. Learned counsel for petitioner also alleged

that the revenue record was manipulated and respondents have

not examined the matter closely as such for non-compliance of the

order dated 27.02.2017 respondents be suitably punished in the

present contempt proceedings.

3. The respondents have filed a reply to the contempt petition

on 28.02.2018 alleging inter alia that in compliance of the order

dated 27.02.2017, team of revenue department was constituted

to look into the matter and after due inspection the site, a mauka

report dated 05.10.2017 was prepared and then after considering

such mauka report, a speaking order dated 12.01.2018 has been

passed by the District Collector, Jaipur. The mauka report and the

order dated 12.01.2018 has been placed on record as annexure

CR-1 & CR-2 and representations of petitioner have been decided.

(3 of 6) [CCP-252/2018]

4. In the order dated 12.01.2018, passed by the District

Collector, Jaipur, the relevant portion is as under:-

5. From the side of petitioner, one miscellaneous application

dated 16.03.2018 has been filed, stating that there is

manipulation in the revenue record and the land of Khasra

No.3695/3 is the land of the pond through which the water flows

and the same has been obstructed by the private respondent-Shri

Buddhi Prakash Sharma, therefore, the same deserves to be

removed following the ratio of law, as propounded in case of

Abdul Rahman Versus State of Rajasthan & Ors. Reported

in 2004 (4) WLC (Raj.) 435.

6. In that view of matter, this Court, vide order dated

26.09.2018, directed the Collector, Jaipur to look into the issue of

encroachment as alleged and to submit his affidavit in this regard.

The Collector has filed his affidavit on 26.10.2018, while replying

the aforesaid miscellaneous application dated 16.03.2018 which is

duly supported by the affidavit of then District Collector, Shri

Siddharth Mahajan, Jaipur. It is contended that the land of Khasra

No.3695 is being used for transportation and it is a land of "gair

mumkin rasta" and not recorded as land of pond. It has also been

contended that regular flow of pond's water has not been found

even through the said land. It has been contended that in fact the

actual dispute is with regard to 3 biswa land of Khasra No.3695,

which exists between the two private persons including petitioner

and the private persons Shri Buddhi Prakash Sharma and others.

(5 of 6) [CCP-252/2018]

It has also been contended that petitioner's husband, had filed a

regular civil suit No.22/2009 before the Civil Court, Dudu against

Shri Buddhi Prakash and Shri Nandkishor and in that civil suit the

dispute about this land of Khasra No.3695/3 measuring 3 biswa

was raised which has been dismissed.

7. As far as the alleged manipulation in revenue record

pertaining to Khasra No.3695 is concerned, it has been submitted

that the trace map of Khasra No.3695/3 with tarmim

(rectification) was issued by the Patwari without the order of

tarmim and therefore, the disciplinary action has been proposed

against the concerned Patwaris.

8. In that view of matter, the respondents have submitted that

the order dated 27.02.2017 has been complied with that too after

due application of mind and after going through entire relevant

record and as no encroachment over the land of Khasra No.3695/3

by the person Buddhi Prakash has been found over the land of 3

biswa of Khasra No.3695 which is actually recorded in the revenue

record in his name, therefore, the representations of petitioner

have been dismissed vide order dated 12.01.2018.

9. Heard counsels for both the parties and perused the entire

material on record.

10. It transpires that the land of Khasra No.3695/3, measuring 3

biswa was recorded in the name of Keshar Lal since 1979 and

presently the same is recorded in the name of Buddhi Prakash

Sharma. It also transpires that the land of Khasra No.3695 is

recorded in the revenue record as "gair mumkin rasta" and not the

pond's land. It appears that there is a private dispute between the

petitioner and one Buddhi Prakash Sharma regarding the

(6 of 6) [CCP-252/2018]

possession over this 3 biswa land which is part of Khasra No.3695

and separated as khasra No.3695/3.

11. The civil suit, preferred by petitioner's husband has also

been dismissed as alleged by respondents and not controverted by

the petitioner. There seems to be contentious dispute between the

private parties, in relation to piece of 3 biswa out of Khasra

No.3695 at village Phagi, Tehsil Phagi, District, Jaipur and such

dispute deserves to be adjudicated by way of separate and regular

proceedings before the revenue authorities. Such disputed issues

are not permissible to be agitated and to be adjudicated in the

proceedings of contempt petition.

12. In the opinion of this Court, the respondents cannot be held

guilty for non-compliance of the order dated 27.02.2017.

Accordingly, this contempt petition does not survive any further

and is accordingly dismissed. Notices are discharged.
