By the present writ petition, the petitioner is seeking a direction towards the respondent authorities for payment of compensation amounting to Rs.15,00,000/- as damage occurred towards the property which was demolished by the respondent authorities pursuance to an order dated 03/06/2024 passed by the Naib Tahsildar under Section 248(2) of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959 (for short, “the Code, 1959”) in Revenue Proceeding No.20240404340001/ A-68/2023-2024. The said proceeding has been initiated by the Naib Tahsildar as the petitioner was having illegal possession over the government land bearing Khasra No.586/2 and 586/3. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already challenged the order dated 03/06/2024 passed by the Naib Tahsildar before the appellate authority/ SDO (Revenue), Raigarh, however the petitioner is seeking compensation as the property in question has been illegally demolished by the respondents authorities. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents/State submits that the property in question has been demolished pursuance to the order passed by the Naib Tahsildar in a proceeding drawn under Section 248(2) of the Code, 1959 and pursuance to the eviction notice dated 11/10/2024 (Annexure P/4) issued by the Naib Tahsildar, the proceeding has been drawn by the authorities in 3 / 3 accordance with law and there is no illegality in the proceeding initiated by the respondent authorities, hence no question arises for payment of compensation to the petitioner. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents as well as the eviction notice dated 11/10/2024 (Annexure P/4). 5. From perusal of the said eviction notice, it appears that the eviction proceeding has been drawn pursuance to an order dated 03/06/2024 passed by the Naib Tahsildar in a revenue proceeding and there is no illegality in the said proceeding. 6. Looking to the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner that the order dated 03/06/2024 is under challenge in a proceeding under the Code, 1959 which is pending before the SDO (Revenue), Raigarh, at this stage, I am not inclined to interfere with the claim of the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the present writ petition deserves to be and is hereby dismissed. Sd/- (BIBHU DATTA GURU) JUDGE $. Bhilwar
