Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Arvind Kumar Verma Order on Board 11/09/2025 2 1. By way of this petition, petitioner sought following relief(s) : “i. That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly pleased to issue a writ of mandamus directing Respondents No. 2 to to forthwith comply with the orders of the Tahsildar, Farsabahar, dated 18.11.2024 and to conduct immediate demarcation of the Petitioner's land bearing Khasra No. 608/16, area 0.283 hectare, situated at Village Tapkara, Halka No. 06, Tahsil Farsabahar, District Jashpur (C.G.). ii. That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly direct the Respondents to complete the demarcation process within a fixed time frame as may be specified by this Hon'ble Court. iii. Any other relief, which this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper, may also kindly be granted to the Petitioner, in the interest of justice.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that Petitioner is the owner and cultivator of agricultural land situated at Village Tapkara, Halka No. 06, Tahsil Farsabahar, District Jashpur, bearing Khasra No. 608/16, area 0.283 hectare, purchased through a registered sale deed dated 23.07.1990. Despite lawful ownership and entries in the revenue records, the Petitioner has been unable to enjoy peaceful possession due to disorganized boundaries and encroachment. To safeguard her rights, the Petitioner applied for demarcation under Section 129 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959. The Tahsildar, Farsabahar, vide order dated 29.05.2024, directed the Patwari to conduct demarcation. Subsequently, further orders were 3 passed on 18.11.2024 and 20.11.2024, requiring the Revenue Inspector and Patwari to carry out demarcation in the presence of adjoining landholders. Despite these binding directions, no action was taken by submitted the authorities. The Petitioner also representations before the Collector, Jashpur, on 20.01.2025, including through the Jan Darshan programme, but the same remained undecided. Meanwhile, land mafias encroached upon the land, and the Petitioner was threatened when she objected. Even her complaint dated 15.07.2025 before the Police Commissioner, Ambikapur, failed to yield any protection. Hence, this petition. 3. Learned State counsel contended that he has no objection. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record with utmost circumspection. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case instead of keeping this petition pending, I find it appropriate to dispose of the same at this stage directing to respondents No.3 and 4 to demarcate the land of the petitioner after giving notice to all the concerned persons expeditiously preferably within a period of ‘90 days’ from the date of receipt of copy of this order in accordance with rules, regulations and law. 6. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. 4 7. With the aforesaid direction, this petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) Judge Vasant
