Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:128192 Court No. - 35 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 37561 of 2024 Petitioner :- Rajkishor Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Alka Srivastava Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Sunil Kumar Singh Hon'ble Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi,J. 1. Heard Sri P.K. Ganguli, Advocate holding brief of Ms. Alka Srivastava, learned counsel for the petitioner; Sri Nand Lal Maurya, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondent nos.1 to 3 and Sri Rohit Yadav, Advocate holding brief of Sri Sunil Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the Land Management Committee. 2. By means of the present writ petition, the petitioner has assailed the order dated 03.10.2024 passed by the Additional Commissioner Administration-Ist, Meerut Division (respondent no.2) in Case No.909 of 2024 under Section 210 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006. 3. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the Revisional Court without looking into the nature of impugned order dated 19.03.2024 dismissed the said revision as not being maintainable. He further submits that Section 67(6) of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 clearly provides that notwithstanding anything contained in any other provision of this Code, and subject to the provisions of this section every order of the Assistant Collector under this Section, shall, subject to the provisions of sub-section (5) be final. At the same time, Section 67(5) provides that any person aggrieved by an order of the Assistant Collector under sub-section (3) or sub-section (4), may within thirty days from the date of such order, prefer an Appeal to the Collector. 4. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the nature of the impugned order dated 19.03.2024 passed by the Tehsildar/Assistant Collector, Baghpat, is such that the same does not fall within the ambit of the orders to be passed under Sub Section (3) or (4) of Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, as such, the provisions of Section 67(6) of the Code would not be applicable, therefore the order dated 19.03.2024 is not appealable before the Collector under Section 67(5) of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, thus the petitioner rightly preferred the revision under Section 210 of the Code, but the learned Revisional Court in an arbitrary manner passed the impugned order dated 03.10.2024 without looking into the provisions of law in correct perspective. 5. 5. The order dated 19.03.2024 passed by the Tehsildar concerned in the proceedings under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, is reproduced as under: "पतत्रावलली प्रस्ततुत। आपतत्तिकतत्रार्ता नने अपनली आपतत्ति कने बबिन्दतु 8 पर उबल्लितखित बकयत्रा हहै बक आपतत्तिकतत्रार्ता कत्रा मकत्रान पपूवर्ताजज कने जमत्रानने सने बिनने कच्चने मकत्रान पर पक्कत्रा मकत्रान बिनत्रा हहै। आपतत्तिकतत्रार्ता नने अपनली आपतत्ति प्रत्रारर्तानत्रापत मम यह कहली उबल्लितखित नहली बकयत्रा हहै बक उसकत्रा मकत्रान बकसली शनेणली ककी भपूबम पर हहै बकस गत्राटत्रा ससंख्यत्रा पर हहै तरत्रा उसकने सम्बिन्ध मम अपनत्रा कजई अबभलनेखिलीय रत्राजस्व सत्राक्ष्य भली प्रस्ततुत नहली बकयत्रा गयत्रा हहै । आपतत्तिकतत्रार्ता कज बनदरबशित बकयत्रा जत्रातत्रा हहै जज मकत्रान बिनत्रा हहै उसककी भपूबम ककी शनेणली एवसं गत्राटत्रा नसं० तरत्रा रत्राजस्व अतधबनयम ककी प्रबत प्रस्ततुत करने। पतत्रावलली वत्रास्तने सतुनवत्राई बदनत्रासंक 02- 04-2024 कज पनेशि हज ।" 6. Learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposed the writ petition and submitted that the order dated 19.03.2024 passed by the Tehsildar is appealable as per Section 67(5) of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 before the Collector and learned Revisional Court has rightly dismissed the said revision as not maintainable. 7. The order dated 03.10.2024 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Administration-Ist, Meerut Division (respondent no.2) is reproduced as under: "यह बनगरत्रानली रत्राजबकशिजर पतुत श्यत्रामलत्राल बनवत्रासली गत्राम टयजढली परगनत्रा ककौतत्रानत्रा , तहसलील व तजलत्रा बित्रागपत ककी ओर सने तह सलीलदत्रार बित्रागपत दत्रारत्रा यत्रासंद ससंख्यत्रा 3499/2022 कम्प्यपूटरलीकक त बित्राद ससंख्यत्रा टली202211080103499/2022 भपूबम प्रबिन्धक सबमबत बिनत्राम रत्राजबकशिजर अन्तगर्तात धत्रारत्रा -67 उ०प्र० रत्राजस्व ससंबहतत्रा 2006 मम पत्राररत आदनेशि बदनत्रासंक 19-03-2024 कने बवरुद्ध यजतजत ककी गयली हहै। मनेरने दत्रारत्रा उभय पकक्षों ककी ओर सने उपसस्रत बवदत्रान अतधवकत्राओसं कने तकरसं कज सतुनत्रा गयत्रा तरत्रा इस न्यत्रायत्रालय ककी पतत्रावलली एवसं अवर न्यत्रायत्रालय ककी पतत्रावलली पर उपलब्ध अबभलनेखिक्षों कत्रा सम्यक रूप सने पररशिलीलन बकयत्रा गयत्रा। उभय पकक्षों कने बवदत्रान अतधवकत्राओसं कने तकरसं कज सतुननने तरत्रा अबभलनेखिक्षों कने अवलजकन सने बवबदत हजतत्रा हहै बक प्रश्नगत बनगरत्रानली अवर न्यत्रायत्रालय तहसलीलदत्रार बित्रागपत दत्रारत्रा यत्राद ससंख्यत्रा 3499/2022 कम्प्यपूटरलीकक त वत्राद ससंख्यत्रा टली 202211080103499/2022 भपूबम प्रबिन्धक सबमबत बिनत्राम रत्राजबकशिजर अन्तगर्तात धत्रारत्रा-67 उ०प्र० रत्राजस्व ससंबहतत्रा 2006 मम पत्राररत आदनेशि बदनत्रासंक 19-03- 2024 कने बवरुद्ध यजतजत ककी गयली हहै , जबिबक "उ०प्र०रत्रा० ससंबहतत्रा 2006 ककी धत्रारत्रा 67 (6) मम यह बवधत्राबनत बकयत्रा गयत्रा हहै बक इस ससंबहतत्रा कने बकसली अन्य उपबिन्ध मम अन्तबवर्ताष्ट बकसली बित्रात कने हजतने हहए भली इस धत्रारत्रा कने उपबिन्धक्षों कने अध्यधलीन सहत्रायक कलक्टर कत्रा इस धत्रारत्रा कने अधलीन प्रत्यनेक आदनेशि उपधत्रारत्रा (5) कने कने अध्यधलीन असन्तम हजगत्रा।" बनगरत्रानलीकतत्रार्ता कज चत्राबहए रत्रा वह अपर तजलत्रातधकत्रारली (न्यत्राबयक) मनेरठ दत्रारत्रा पत्राररत आदनेशि बदनत्रासंक 19-03-2024 कने बवरुद्र मत्रा० उच्च न्यत्रायत्रालय मम ररट यत्राबचकत्रा यजतजत करतने। अततः प्रश्नगत बनगरत्रानली पजषणलीय न हजनने ककी दशित्रा मम बनरस्त बकयने जत्रानने यजग्य हहै। -: आदनेशितः - बनगरत्रानली बनरस्त ककी जत्रातली हहै। आदनेशि ककी सत्यत्राबपत प्रबत सबहत अवर न्यत्रायत्रालय कने अबभलनेखि वत्रापस बकयने जत्रायम। बित्राद आवश्यक कत्रायर्तावत्राहली इस न्यत्रायत्रालय ककी पतत्रावलली अबभलनेखित्रागत्रार मम ससंबचत हज।" 8. From a bare perusal of the order dated 19.03.2024 it is evident that by means of the said order, the petitioner was directed to provide certain documents relating to the 'category' of the land on which the house in question has been constructed and also the Gata number of the same and the Tehsildar/Assistant Collector fixed 02.04.2024 for further hearing. 9. Taking into consideration the nature of the aforesaid order dated 19.03.2024 as quoted herein above, this Court is of the view that the same did not cause any such prejudice to the petitioner warranting him to challenge the same before the higher Court. 10. In view of above, the present writ petition can be disposed of at the admission stage itself without calling for counter affidavit, by granting liberty to the petitioner to appear before the Court of Tehsildar (Judicial), Baghpat (respondent no.3) by filing a detailed reply/objection(s) afresh and to raise all his pleas before the court concerned in the proceedings of the Case No.3499 of 2022 . 11. It is provided that in case the petitioner submits his reply/objection(s) in the aforesaid proceedings, the Tehsildar concerned after taking into consideration the reply/objection(s) raised therein, shall pass appropriate orders on the same as expeditiously as possible. 12. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the present writ petition is disposed of.
