A writ or order or direction in the nature of Writ of Certiorari to quash the impugned order passed in Revision Petition bearing No. RTS-RI-10/2021 passed by the R1 dated: 19.08.2021 as per Annexure-A and confirm the order dated 17.02.2021 passed by the 2nd respondent in appeal bearing No. RTS/AP-52/2020 as per Annexure-E. ii. Grant such other reliefs as deemed fit by this Hon’ble Court in the circumstances of the case, in the interest of justice and equity. 2. During the pendency of the above matter, the parties have resolved the dispute among themselves and have filed a memo dated 28.01.2025 signed by respondents No.5 to 13 and the counsel for Respondents No.5 to 13, which reads as under: - 9 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2173 WP No. 103606 of 2021 MEMO The advocate for the respondents No.5 to 13 most respectfully submits as under. It is submitted that in view of intervention of elders in the village we have settled the dispute amicably. In view of settlement we request to set aside the order passed by the Deputy commission respondent No.1 order passed in Revision Petition bearing No: RTS-RI- 10/2021 dated: 19.08.2021 as per ANNEXURE-A and confirm the order dated: 17.02.2021 passed by the 2nd respondent in appeal bearing No: RTS/AP-52/2020 as per ANNEXURE-E and allow the writ petition, in the interest of justice and equity. Hence this memo. 3. The submission made now by Sri.Harshawardhan M. Patil., learned counsel is that Respondents No.5 to 13 is that Respondents No.5 to 13 would seek permission for withdrawal of the Revision Petition bearing No.RTS-R1- 10/2021 and if Respondents No.5 to 13 were permitted to withdraw the said Revision, the order dated 17.02.2021 passed by respondent No.2 would remain unchallenged and as such confirmed. 4. In that view of the matter, I pass the following; ORDER i. The writ petition is allowed. - 10 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2173 WP No. 103606 of 2021 ii. Respondents No.5 to 13 request for permission to withdraw Revision Petition bearing No.RTS-R1- 10/2021 is allowed, consequently the said Revision Petition bearing RTS-R1-10/2021 is dismissed as withdrawn. iii. Needless to say, the order dated 17.02.2021 passed by respondent No.2 in appeal bearing No.RTS/AP- 52/2020 as per Annexure-E stands confirmed. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE SR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 79
