1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. 2. The instant writ petition has been filed for the following relief:
"(I) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Certiorari quashing the impugned RC Form-19 dated 03.07.2024 and RC Form-20 issued thereafter by the office of the Naib Tehsildar, Tehsil Mahawan, District Mathura, purportedly under Section 67(1) of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, as the same are without jurisdiction, arbitrary, and in violation of the provisions of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 and Rules, 2016. (II) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus restraining the respondents from taking any coercive or dispossessory action against the petitioner pursuant to the impugned RC Forms or under any other proceeding initiated under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 in respect of Khasra Nos. 70, 73 and 80 situated in Mauja Daulatpur, Tehsil Mahawan, District Mathura."
3. RC Form-19 and RC Form-20 issued under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 are under challenge in the present writ petition. RC Form-19 is an information by the Lekhpal to the Assistant Collector to initiate proceedings under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code,2006 and RC Form-20 is a notice after initiation of the proceedings. 4. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the notice has been issued by the Naib Tehsildar who has no jurisdiction. 5. Learned Standing Counsel has submitted that since the proceedings under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 are pending, the petitioner may file his objections in the proceedings. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that he has already filed objections to the proceedings. 7. In view of the above, no useful purpose would be served in keeping this petition pending. 8.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition stands disposed of finally with a direction to respondent No. 3 to consider and decide the aforementioned objections filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law after ensuring service upon all the opposite parties and giving opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned and without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties provided that there is no other legal impediment.
