The impugned order dated 16.11.2018 passed by the Consolidation Officer, Chharra, Atrauli, Aligarh expunged the name of the petitioner from the revenue records.

The substantive rights of the petitioner have been adversely affected by the impugned order dated 16.11.2018. The prejudice caused to the petitioner by non compliance of the principles of natural justice is beyond recall. The appellate authority as well as revising authority failed to redeem the illegalities committed by the initial authority.
