3. In compliance of the aforesaid order, the petitioner did not take steps to serve the respondent nos.6 to 8, as is evident from the office report dated
27.9.2025. 4. The relief claimed by the petitioner in the present petition is for implementing the order dated 4.11.2023 passed in proceedings under Section 67(1) of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006. 5. In view of the judgment of Division Bench of this Court in case of Manbhavati v. State of U.P. and others, reported in 2020 1 AWC 789A and Writ C No. 7863 of 2018 (Brij Bhushan Rai v. State of U.P. and 6 others), the writ petition is not maintainable for execution of orders passed by Revenue Court. It has been further submitted by learned Standing Counsel that in view of provisions of paragraph no. 460 of the U.P. Revenue Court Manual, the petitioner has remedy for getting the order implemented. For ready reference, paragraph no. 460 of the U.P. Revenue Court Manual, is quoted as under:
"460. Execution of decree and order- (1) The decree or order passed under the Code WPIL No. 2357 of 2025 2
or the Rules framed under the Code shall, mutatis mutandis, be executed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V. (2) The Assistant Collector/Tahsildar passing the order for eviction or recovery of any amount of damages or compensation under the provisions of Section 67 of the Code shall get the order executed and in execution of the order he shall, mutatis mutandis, follow the procedure laid down in paragraphs 137 and 138."
6. In view of the same, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter. 7.
Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the remedy as available to him under law. May 7, 2026 Anil WPIL No. 2357 of 2025 3 (Arun Kumar,J.) Digitally signed by :- ANIL KUMAR PATEL High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
