Hon'ble Manish Kumar Nigam,J. 1. Heard Shri Pradeep Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Azad Rai, learned counsel for the Gaon Sabha, learned Standing Counsel for the State respondents and perused the record. 2. This petition has been filed for the following relief: "(i) issue a writ, order and direction in nature of certiorari quashing the impugned order dated 12.11.2024 issued by Respondent No. 1 (which is Annexure No. 8 to this writ petition)."

(iv) allow the cost of the petition in favour of the petitioner." 3. The matter was partly heard on 10.01.2025 and 16.01.2025 was the date fixed for further hearing. By order dated 10.01.2025, learned counsel for the petitioner was granted time to file his written arguments also. Matter was again taken up on 16.01.2025 but no written arguments were filed and the judgment was reserved. 4. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner filed a suit under Section 116 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 for partition and according to the averments made in the writ petition, the defendants/respondents were served and despite that they do not appear before the trial court to contest the suit and ultimately on 17.05.2022, the suit was decreed and on 23.05.2022 a decree was also issued by the trial court. On the basis of preliminary decreed dated 23.05.2022, kurras were submitted by Lekhpal on 28.06.2022. Thereafter, on 01.01.2023, a time barred restoration application was filed by the respondent no. 2, copy of the same was given to the petitioner to which petitioner filed his objections. On 25.10.2024, arguments of the parties were heard and order was reserved. On 12.11.2024, the order impugned has been passed. 5. Contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there are serious manipulation of the records and order dated 12.11.2024 has been passed only to delay the proceedings to help the respondents. 6. I have perused the order dated 12.11.2024, relevant portion of which is quoted as under: “ननिररय प्रस्ततुत ववाद मम न्यवायवालय दवारवा 17.05.2022 कको प्रवारममम्भिक नडिकक्री कवा आददेश पवाररत नकयवा गयवा थवा जजिसकदे नवरु द्ध प्रनतववाददी ससंख्यवा 1 तवारवा ददेवदी निदे इश आशय कवा पतुनिस्थवापनि प्रवाथरनिवा पत्र व मय शपथपत्र नदनिवासंक 30.05.2022 कको प्रस्ततुत नकयवा नक पवाररत हहै उसकवा नहत प्रम्भिवानवत हको रहवा हहै अपनिदे शपथ पत्र कदे पहैरवा 12 मम बतवायवा नक आरवाजिदी ससंख्यवा 219 आववाददी सदे अच्छवानदत हहै तथवा पहैरवा 13 मम कहवा हहै नक आरवाजिदी ससंख्यवा 219 कदे पपूरदे म्भिवाग पर उसकक्री गगौशवालवा व चरहदी बनिदी हहै इसजलयदे उसकवा नवम्भिवाजिनि निहहीं नकयवा जिवा सकतवा हहै सवाथ मम म्भिपूनचत्र कक्री छवायवाप्रनत प्रस्ततुत नकयवा जजिसमम आरवाजिदी ससंख्यवा 219 कदे निक्शदे मम आववाददी कवा ससंकदे त म्भिदी बनिवा हहै पतुनिरुथवापनि प्रवाथरनिवा पत्र कवा बवाददी निदे नदनिवासंक 05.10.2024 कको जिववाब मय शपथपत्र प्रस्ततुत नकयवा अपनिदे जिववाब मम मय शपथपत्र पतुनिरुथवापनि प्रवाथरनिवा पत्र मम कहहीं बवातको कवा खण्डिनि नकयवा सवाथ हदी अनतररक्त कथनि मम शपथ पत्र कक्री धरवा 15 मम यह कहवा गयवा नक पतुनिस्थवापनि प्रवाथरनिवा पत्र प्रस्ततुत करनिदे ववालदी तवारवा ददेवदी निदे 05.07.2010 कको इसदी आरवाजिदी कदे नवम्भिवाजिनि कवा ववाद म्भिदी प्रस्ततुत कर चतुकक्री हहै प्रमवार स्वरूप ववाद पत्र कक्री छवायवा प्रनत म्भिदी प्रस्ततुत नकयवा हहै। ववाजिवदेकतर्ती निदे अपनिदे कथनि कदे सवाथ एक नवकय पत्र नदनिवासंक 12.11.1970 कक्री छवायवाप्रनत प्रस्ततुत नकयवा हहै आददेश पवाररत करनिदे कदे पपूवर ववाजिवदेकतर्ती कदे इश कथनि कक्री आरवाजिदी ससंख्यवा 219 आववाददी कक्री म्भिपूनम हहै तथवा निक्शदे मम आववाददी कदे ससंकदे त म्भिदी बनिदे हहै कदे सत्यवापनि हदेततु प्रमवानरत अनम्भिलदेख प्रस्ततुत नकयवा जिवानिवा आवश्यक हहै तथवा ववाददी निदे ववाजिवदे प्रवाथरनिवा पत्र कदे जिववाब मम शपथपत्र कक्री धवारवा 15 अनतररक्त मम कहवा हहै नक ववाजिवदेकतर्ती तवारवा ददेवदी निदे नदनिवासंक 05.07.2010 कको बटववारवा कवा ववाद प्रस्ततुत नकयवा थवा अपनिदे कथनि कदे प्रमवार स्वरूप ववाद पत्र कक्री छवायवा प्रनत प्रस्ततुत नकयवा हहै ऐसदी मस्थनत मम ववाजिवदेकतर्ती दवारवा प्रस्ततुत म्भिपूनचत्र व 41, 45 तथवा नवकय पत्र कक्री प्रमवानरत प्रनत व ववाददी दवारवा तवारवा ददेवदी दवारवा प्रस्ततुत ववाद पत्र कक्री प्रमवानरत प्रनत व ववाददी दवारवा तवारवा ददेवदी दवारवा प्रस्ततुत ववाद पत्र कक्री प्रमवानरक प्रनत दवाजखल नकयवा जिवानिवा आवश्यक हहै। आददेश अततः आददेश नकयवा जिवातवा हहै नक ववाजिवदेकतर्ती अपनिदे आरवाजिदी ससंख्यवा 219 कक्री आकवार पत्र 41,45 तथवा म्भिपूनचत्र व नवकय पत्र तथवा ववाददी तवारवा ददेवदी दवारवा प्रस्ततुत ववादपत्र नदनिवासंक 05.07.2010 कक्री प्रमवानरत प्रनत दवाजखल नकयवा जिवाय ववाद मम ववास्तदे अनग्रिम कवायरववाहदी कक्री नदनिवासंक 02.12.2024 ननियत हको।" 7. From the perused of the order impugned, it is apparent that the court below has only directed the petitioner to file certified copy of the orders, photo copy of which were filed by the petitioner before the court below. In my view, no illegality has been committed by the court below by passing the order dated 12.11.2024. 8. Consequently, the writ petition fails and is accordingly, dismissed.
