1. Mr. Nathu Singh Rathore, learned Additional Advocate
General puts in appearance on behalf of the respondents.
2. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners submits
that the controversy involved in the present writ petition is
squarely covered by the judgment dated 25.01.2016 passed in a
bunch of writ petitions led by S.B. Civil Writ Petition
No.13842/2015 (Gulsher Vs. State of Rajasthan), which has
been duly followed by another coordinate Bench in decision dated
24.10.2017 passed in SBCWP No.11508/2017 (Gemar Singh
Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.).
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
petitioners owns/possesses land, yet the respondents are not
providing irrigation facilities to the petitioner in view of the
litigation, though they are having interim order in their favour.
4. Learned counsel for the respondents in principal agreed that
the issue is broadly covered, however, apprehended that in guise
of the judgment of this Court, the petitioners are seeking irrigation
facilities to their lands, even when they are not in the command
area.

"(i) The petitioner shall approach respective Executive Engineer of IGNP Department within two weeks from today and furnish documentary evidence regarding their ownership and title of the agriculture lands, which is in their possession.
(ii) The petitioner, who is not having any documentary evidence regarding his ownership and title of the said agriculture land but the dispute regarding title of the said agriculture land is pending either before departmental authorities or before competent courts and stay order is passed in their favour, can also furnish copies of said stay order passed by the departmental authorities or competent courts within two weeks from today.
(iii) The respective Executive Engineer of IGNP Department after verifying the documentary evidence, furnished by the petitioner, or after taking into consideration the stay order passed in their favour by the departmental authorities or competent courts shall consider the cases of the petitioner for inclusion of his names in barabandi for ensuing years strictly in accordance with law.
