HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN
Order
14/08/2023
1. Present petitions have been filed against the orders dated
05.10.2009 and 04.11.2008 passed by the Board of Revenue
whereby the judgment and decree dated 07.04.1998 was set
aside and the suit filed by respondent-Bhagwan Das was allowed.
2. With the consent of both the sides, the connected matters
are being taken up together for final adjudication.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners contend the following:-
3/1 That vide order dated 19.11.1969, passed by the
competent court below in suit bearing No. 402/66, the suit
filed by Smt. Kamla for declaration and permanent
injunction was allowed and Smt. Kamala was declared as
the Khatedar of the subject land in dispute.
3/2 That vide the impugned order, the learned Board of
Revenue failed to render any finding qua the order dated
19.11.1969 wherein it was categorically noted that all the
properties pertaining to Sh. Bhola had been recorded in the
name of Smt. Kamala. In this regard, it was argued that the
said omission/failure to consider the above-stated material
fact, especially by the Board of Revenue, which is the last
fact finding authority, has caused great prejudice to the
interests of the petitioner.
4. Learned counsel for the respondents has submitted that the
learned Board of Revenue, after duly considering all the material
facts, has rendered a well-reasoned and justified finding, which
calls for no interference of this Court. In this regard, it was
[2023:RJ-JP:17757] (4 of 5) [CW-429/2010]
emphasised that Smt. Kamala had preferred the suit below after a
prolonged lapse of 20 years, which was duly taken note of by the
learned Board of Revenue and thereafter, the impugned order was
passed.
5. Heard and considered the arguments raised by both the
sides.
6. On a perusal of the order passed by the Revenue Appellate
Authority dated 07.04.1998, it is quite apparent that due
consideration was given to the orders dated 19.11.1969 and
22.11.1983 and thereafter, the factum of the demise of Sh. Bhola
was appropriately taken note of. Moreover, after taking note of the
order dated 19.11.1969, the Relevant Appellate Authority passed
an order in favour of the petitioners. However, subsequently, the
Board of Revenue while passing the impugned order, has nowhere
recorded any findings qua the orders dated 19.11.1969 and
22.11.1983, which reflects non-consideration of the same,
thereby, precluding the due consideration of material facts such as
that of Smt. Kamala being declared as the Khatedar of the subject
land under dispute vide order 19.11.1969. The said
omission/failure to consider the findings recorded in the orders
dated 19.11.1969 and 22.11.1983, render the impugned order to
be non-speaking in nature, having been passed without
consideration of material aspects. Moreover, even during the
course of arguments, learned counsel for the respondents were
unable to satisfy the court qua the said orders having been
considered by the Board of Revenue while passing the impugned
order.
[2023:RJ-JP:17757] (5 of 5) [CW-429/2010]
6. In light of the above facts, this court is inclined to set aside
the impugned orders dated 05.10.2009 and 04.11.2008 passed by
the Board of Revenue.
7. While setting aside the impugned orders, this court is
inclined to remand the matter back to the Board of Revenue to
render appropriate findings after due consideration of the orders
dated 19.11.1969 and 22.11.1983. It is made clear that the
learned Revenue Board shall be free to adjudicate upon the
matter, in due accordance with law. It is also made clear that
while passing a speaking order, as directed above, due compliance
shall be made of the principles of natural justice. Both the sides
shall also be at liberty to put forth any legal submissions before
the Board of Revenue, if they choose to do so.
8. In light of the above, both petitions stand disposed of. All
pending application also stand disposed of.
