Impeaching the order dated 27.12.2024 to the extent it has rejected the application dated 12.12.2024 seeking interim protection, it is stated that as per the area and the number indicated in the sale deed(s) dated 06.07.1981 executed by Smt. Rajpyari in favour of the petitioner- Swaminath and Chandrapali- predecessor- in-interest of opposite party nos.3 to 10 namely Smt. Chandrawati Kunwari w/o Girdhar Gopal, Bajrangi, Jawahar Lal, Rajendra Prasad and Ziledar all sons of late Gopi Nath, Smt. Buhnaga Devi widow of late Gopi nath, Smt. Sheela Devi widow of late Hawaldar and Suraj minor son of late Hawaldar who is represented through his guardian Smt. Sheela Devi in which opposite party no.3 – Smt. Chandrawati had raised the claim before the Consolidation Officer being the successor of Rajpyari, would indicate that the area indicated in the order dated 22.11.2024 passed by Consolidation Officer, Ikauna in Case No.0005 of 2015, Computerized Case No.2015550862020005 (Chandrawati Kunwari Vs. Swaminath) under Section 9(A)2 of U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953 (in short 'Act 1953') as also area of Gata No.575-B in the revenue records at relevant point of time was 6.180 acre and in this area if the area of canal, i.e. 2.230 acre and the area transferred by the petitioner, i.e. 0.200 acre. to Baccharaj through registered sale deed is substracted then in that eventuality the area of Gata No.575-B would come to 2.250 hect. and this aspect of the case as also the fact that sale deed favourable to Chattrapali was executed by Smt. Rajpyari with regard to Gata No.575-A was not taken note of while rejecting the prayer seeking interim protection and as such the order is non-speaking and requires interference. 7. Considering the aforesaid including the observations made in the judgment(s) referred above, according to which even the administrative authority is required to record reasons, this Court finds that interference in this matter is required. 8. Accordingly, order dated 27.12.2024 to the extent of rejecting the prayer sought in the application dated 12.12.2024 seeking interim protection is hereby quashed. The matter is remanded back to the authority concerned who shall pass the reasoned and speaking order after considering the facts of the case including the facts indicated in the objections filed by the side opposite and after providing opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, if possible on the next date fixed in the case and if on the next date, for some reasons, Application 12.12.2024 could not be disposed of finally the same be disposed of within 15 days thereafter. 9. The petition is accordingly allowed. Cost made easy. Order Date :- 26.3.2025 Anand/- Digitally signed by :- ANAND KUMAR SRIVASTAVA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
