HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA SINGH DHADDHA

Judgment

DATE OF JUDGMENT 13/10/2023

With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the

appeals are being decided by this common order.

These three appeals arise out of the judgment and decree

dated 30.03.2011 passed by Additional District Judge (Fast Track)

No.1, Dholpur (for short 'the trial court') in Civil Suit No.38/2005.

Learned counsel for the appellants as well as respondents

submit that the trial court wrongly appointed Advocate Suresh

Kumar as a Commissioner for preparing a proposed for division of

the revenue land. Learned counsel for the parties further submit

[2023:RJ-JP:28762] (8 of 9) [CFA-407/2011]

that as per Section 54 of CPC, Collector or any Gazetted

Subordinate Officer, who is deputed by the Collector, is entitled to

frame the division report of the revenue land. So, preliminary

decree as well as final decree passed in this matter are legally not

sustainable. So, judgment and decree of the trial court be set

aside and the matter be remanded back to the trial court to

proceed further in the matter for division of the land according to

Section 54 of CPC.

I have considered the arguments advanced by learned

counsel for the appellants as well as respondents and perused the

impugned order.

The trial court while passing the preliminary decree

appointed Suresh Kumar Advocate as a Commissioner for division

of the revenue land. As per Section 54 of CPC, Collector or any

Gazetted Subordinate Officer, who is deputed by the Collector, is

entitled to division of the revenue land. So, preliminary decree as

well as final decree passed in this matter are legally not

sustainable. So, judgment of the trial court is liable to be set aside

to this extent.

Accordingly, these appeals filed by the appellants are partly

allowed. The judgment and decree of the trial court dated

30.03.2011 qua appointing the Advocate as a Commissioner for

division of the revenue land is set aside.

Trial Court is directed to appoint the Commissioner as per

Section 54 of CPC and decide the matter in accordance with law.

Parties are directed to appear before the court below on

20.11.2023.

[2023:RJ-JP:28762] (9 of 9) [CFA-407/2011]

Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of.

A copy of this order be placed in each connected file.
