[2025:RJ-JD:41199] (2 of 3) [CW-17690/2025]
11.11.2024. A Co-ordinate Bench of this Court disposed of the
said writ petition while relying upon the judgments passed in a
bunch of writ petitions led by S.B. Civil Writ Petition
No.13842/2015 (Gulsher Vs. State of Rajasthan) decided on
24.10.2017 and S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.11508/2017
(Gemar Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan and Ors.).
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present
writ petition may also be disposed of in the same terms as
Aarabdeen (supra). The relevant paras of the order is
reproduced herein below:
"5. Having heard rival submissions, the present writ petition is disposed of in terms of the following directions given by this Court in the cases of Gulsher Khan and Gemar Singh (supra), with further directions that the petitioner shall be given irrigation facilities only, if, his land(s) fall 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

[2025:RJ-JD:41199] (3 of 3) [CW-17690/2025]
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.
(iv) It is made clear that the petitioner, who is presently getting the irrigation facilities to their agriculture fields, will continue to get the same till next barabandi is fixed by the IGNP Department.
(v) In case land(s) for which the petitioner is claiming irrigation facilities, do not fall in culturable command area, the respondents shall not be bound to provide irrigation facility/barabandi."
6. The stay application also stands disposed of accordingly."
3. Learned counsel for the respondents vehemently opposed
the submission made on behalf of the petitioner, however, is not in
a position to refute the fact that the issue raised in the present
writ petition is identical to the one adjudicated in the case of
Aarabdeen (supra).
4. In view of the submissions made, the present writ petition is
disposed of in the same terms as was decided in the case of
Aarabdeen (supra).
5. Pending application(s), if any, also stand(s) disposed of.
