(Revenue), 5led before Tahsil Patan, District-Durg, Chhattisgarh, and the S.D.O. (Revenue) vide their order dated 22.02.2022 stayed the order passed by the Tehsildar dated 15.02.20212, which is Annexure P/4 in this petition, whereby vide order dated 14.07.2021, S.D.O. (Revenue) had allowed the appeal and set aside the order of
3 Tehsildar and remanded back to the Tehsildar and directed the Tehsildar to inquire the matter as per law and thereafter pass the
order under Section 248 of CG Land Revenue Code.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Tehsildar has not properly acted in the case and fail to understand that as per
order dated 14.07.2021 the original order dated 15.02.2021 has already set aside, however the Tehsildar again is relying upon the same order. As per order dated 14.07.2021, the learned Sub Divisional O.cer (Revenue) has set aside the order dated 15.02.2021 and has directed the Tehsildar for fresh hearing the case but the learned Tehsildar has not complied the above order. Various proceedings are still pending before diDerent forums of same suit land and inspite of that, the Tehsildar has passed the above order and the collector has already passed the order of status quo vide order dated 09.01.2025 but still the tehsildar and the old sarpanch are trying to evict the petitioner form his peaceful possession of the agricultural land. The mother of the petitioner has purchased the above land vide registered sale deed dated 14.02.1994 and still no any competent court has declared the above sale deed null and void. Due to personal grievances of old sarpanch the above case was registered against the petitioner. Due to mistake of certain revenue o.cers the petitioner land has been recorded as ceiling land and the petitioner is trying to mutate his name as land owner and if he is removed from the peaceful possession he will have to face Ir-repairable loss. Hence this petition.

5 respondent No.4 has remitted back the matter to respondent No.3 to decide the matter a fresh but till today the respondent No.3 has not decided the matter in compliance of order dated 14/07/2021 passed by the respondent No.4 and also one other application which was preferred by the petitioner under section 11(5) (6) of the Act has also been decided by the respondent No.2 on 17/03/2025 by which the respondent No.2 has also remitted back the matter to the court below but still the matter is pending and the petitioner is enjoying the illegal encroachment over the government land, hence therefore it is humbly prayed by the present respondent No.5 to pass a suitable direction in shape of
order to the concerned Revenue authority to decide the case of the petitioner within a stipulated period of time.
