Hon'ble Manoj Kumar Gupta,J. Hon'ble Anish Kumar Gupta,J. 1. The following prayers have been made in the writ petition, which has been filed ostensibly in public interest: "(i) Issue Writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to take over possession of enemy property situated in Kasba Nanauta Tehsil Rampur Maniharan District Saharanpur and to deal with the property in accordance with section 8 of the Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2017. (ii) Issue Writ order or direction in nature of mandamus declaring all mutations, transfers, or retransfer with regard to enemy property situated in Kasba Nanauta Tehsil Rampur Maniharan District Daranpur to be null and void and further to void and further to charge penalty for unauthorized occupation of enemy property. (iii) Issue Writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus against the Revenue and Consolidation Authorities who despite knowledge of enemy property illegally mutated the names of bhumafia / strangers in the consolidation / revenue records over enemy a property." 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the subject land was enemy property and it had vested in the custodian. However, the Authorities in collusion with certain private persons have permitted mutation of the name of certain persons as bhumidhar and thereafter, successive transfers have been made. It is submitted that in the given facts, all mutations, transfers, re-transfers should be declared as null and void treating property to be enemy property. 3. Sri S.P. Singh, learend Additional Solicitor General assisted by Sri Vivek Kumar Singh, submits that there was no order vesting the subject land in custodian. He has placed on record a communication received by him on 16.05.2025, from Deputy Custodian of Enemy Property of India wherein, it is unequivocally stated that till date the property has not been declared as Enemy Property. 4. Even otherwise, we find that in a report dated 30.07.2022 submitted by the Consolidation Authorities to ADM (Finance and Revenue)/In-Charge Officer (Enemy property), Shaharanpur, it is mentioned that the names of the farmers have been mutated in the revenue records on basis of various orders passed by the Consolidation Authorities. The orders on basis of which the mutations have been made are not part of the writ petition nor are under challenge nor the affected parties are party to the instant proceedings. 5. In such circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain the petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. Order Date :- 21.5.2025 Shubham Arya (Anish Kumar Gupta, J.) (Manoj Kumar Gupta, J.)
