VASANT KUMAR Digitally signed by VASANT KUMAR Date: 2025.08.05 12:40:14 +0530 2 5 - The Deputy Registrar Pussore Tehsil And District - Raigarh (C.G.) --- Respondent(s) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Petitioners : Mr. Rajat Agrawal, Advocate For Respondent-State : Mr. Satish Gupta, GA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon'ble Shri Arvind Kumar Verma, Judge Order on Board 04.08.2025 1. The present petition is filed by the petitioners with following relief(s): “10.1 That, this Hon'ble Court may be kind enough in issuing an appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the respondents, to bring all the records relates to the Subject Land of the petitioner. 10.2 That, this Hon'ble Court may be kind enough in issuing an appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the respondents, particularly direct the Respondent No.04 Tehsildar, Pussore to consider and decide the application for grant of necessary certificates for sell and supply the certificate of 22 points information showing four boundaries of land bearing Khasra Nos. 44, 45, 50/2, and 60/2, measuring a total of 0.5260 hectares, situated in 3 Patwari Halka No. 08, Village Boirdih, Revenue Circle Netnagar, Tehsil - Pussore, District Raigarh (C.G.) 10.3 That the Hon'ble court be further pleased to direct the Respondent No.3 Tehsildar, Pussore, District- Raigarh (C.G.) to supply the certificates of 22 points information of subject land mentioned in the application to the petitioner within stipulated period. 10.4 Pass such other and further order(s) as may be deemed just and proper in the interest of justice, equity, and good conscience, including the cost of the petition.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the present writ petition is being filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking issuance of an appropriate writ, order, or direction against the inaction of the respondent revenue authorities, who have arbitrarily and without lawful justification failed to issue the mandatory 22-point information certificate (Baees Nikas Patrak) and sale permission/NOC for the petitioners' ancestral land situated in Village Boirdih, District Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The said land stands lawfully recorded in the names of the petitioners, who are the sole legal heirs of the original 4 recorded owner and have been in peaceful, undisputed possession since mutation in 2022. Despite filing proper applications and completing all statutory formalities, the revenue officials have not acted upon the petitioners' request and kept the matter pending without any written order or explanation. This inaction is in clear violation of the Chhattisgarh Lok Sewa Guarantee Adhiniyam, 2011, which mandates time-bound delivery of public services including issuance of land-related certificates. The conduct of the authorities violates the petitioners' constitutional rights under Articles 14 and 300A, amounts to administrative arbitrariness, and constitutes a failure of public duty. The petitioners, being women from a rural background and unaware of complex legal formalities, promptly approached legal counsel upon receiving credible information, and now seek judicial intervention to enforce their right to receive the necessary revenue documents in accordance with law. 3. Learned State counsel submits that if the petitioners submit a fresh representation before the Tahsildar, Pussore, the Tahsildar, Pussore, District Raigarh is ready to decide the same in accordance with law. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record with utmost circumspection. 5. Considering the facts of the case and submission made by learned counsel for the parties, at this stage this petition is disposed of by 5 permitting to the petitioners to submit a fresh representation before respondent No.4 - Tahsildar, Pussore, District Raigarh raising their all grievances and in-turn respondent No.4 shall consider and decide the same expeditiously preferably within an outer limit of ‘30 days’ from the date of receipt of copy of this order, in accordance with rules, regulations & law, as per Lok Sewa Guarantee Adhiniyam, 2011 and also as per Annexure P/3 of this petition. 6. With the aforesaid directions, the instant petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) JUDGE Vasant
