It is further contended that, both the authorities have not considered the factual aspects on record, the respondent Authorities have not taken decision in terms of the order passed by this Court at Annexure-E, and therefore, sought for interference of this Court. 4. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.11 filed a memo and submitted that, suit in O.S.No.719/2017 is pending consideration before the Civil Court with regard to title in respect of subject land between the parties, and unless the said suit is concluded by determining the rights of the parties, impugned order passed by the respondent-authorities is just and proper. - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:21966 WP No. 10262 of 2024 5.

Though the suit is pending consideration before the Competent Civil Court , I am of the view that, no interference is called for in this writ petition. However, the parties have to await judgment and decree that may be made in O.S.No.719/2017 which would determine the rights of the parties is concerned. 7. After conclusion of the proceedings in O.S.No.719/2017, it is open for the parties to approach the Revenue Authorities. 8.
