Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:41700-DB Court No. - 29 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 8249 of 2025 Petitioner :- Smt. Malati Kumari Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ramesh Chandra Pathak Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ashwani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Donadi Ramesh,J. Petitioner's claim for compensation under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durgathana Kalyan Yojna has not been accorded
consideration by the respondents only on the ground that no land was recorded in the name of the petitioner.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has invited attention of the Court to the Government Order which regulates the scheme according to which even the sharecropper would be covered within the definition of the agriculturists. It is stated that an affidavit has already been filed before the District Magistrate of the recorded tenure holder, who has clearly stated that the deceased was acting as a sharecropper with her. Submission is that this aspect has not been accorded consideration and, therefore, the impugned decision in rejecting petitioner's claim is bad in law. Learned Standing counsel does not dispute that this aspect of the matter has not been noticed and submits that the authority concerned be permitted to revisit the matter. In that view of the matter, we dispose of this petition with a direction upon the District Magistrate concerned to get the petitioner's claim reconsidered in light of the specific material placed before the authorities with regard to the deceased acting as a sharecropper with the recorded tenure holder. Such material shall be placed alongwith a certified copy of this order, which shall be got examined and a fresh decision would be taken within a period of two months. The order impugned shall abide by the outcome of the fresh orders to be passed as indicated above.
