It is further submitted that the petitioner, serving as a Patwari, merely carried out changes in the revenue record in compliance with the order passed by the Revenue Court (Annexure-4) and upon the specific directions of the Tehsildar. 3. It is further submitted that on the reference (Annexure-5) of Patwari, the Tehsildar, after due enquiry, has approved the said changes which was referred by him, in compliance with the order passed by the Revenue Court in the month of October, 2025. 4. Heard the submissions put forth by the learned counsel. 5. Upon perusal of the material available on record, this Court has observed that the Circular dated 12.09.2024 (Annexure-7), issued by the Deputy Secretary, Government of Rajasthan was issued against the backdrop of instances where revenue records were tampered with and certain changes were carried out to extend undue benefits to some persons, the Government Land Mutation Advisory Committee (GLMAC) was constituted. 6. As per Para-2(ii) of the said Circular, it is explicitly stipulated that in matters involving orders passed by a Revenue Court, no changes are to be effected in the revenue records until a decision regarding ‘Appeal/No Appeal’ is taken by the competent authority and the documents are scrutinized by the GLMAC. Relevant portion of the Circular is reiterated herein below:- "2. राजकीय भूमम ( खाता संखा 1, मजमन नं0 4 एवं 5) से संबंमधत नामानरण आवेदन पत पाप होने पर पटवारी उक आवेदनों को GLMAC को अगेमसत करेगे। उक समममत खाता संखा 1 के संबंध मे मकसी आवंटन आदेश / नामयक मनणरय को मजला सरीय कमेटी पकरण का परीकण मनम आधारों पर करेगीः - (i) उक समममत आवंटन आदेश से संबंमधत नामानरण के पकरणों मे समस दसावेजों का परीकण करेगी। यमद समममत परीकण [2026:RJ-JP:3747] (3 of 3) [CW-1545/2026] उपरान पेमषत मकये गये आवेदन एवं दसावेजों से संतुष होती है मक आवंटन मवमधक रप से उमचत है तो वह नामानरण के आवेदन के संबंध मे अमगम कायरवाही के मलए अनुशंषा करेगी। यमद GLMAC परीकण उपरान दसावेजों से असंतुष होती है तो नामानरण के आवेदन को असीकार करने के मलए अनुशंषा करेगी। तदद नु सार पटवारी / तहसीलदार दारा कायरवाही की जावेगी। (ii) मकसी राजस नायालय दारा पाररत मनणरय से संबंमधत नामानरण के पकरणों मे कमेटी यह परीकण करेगी मक मनणरय के संबंध मे अपील / नो अपील का मनणरय मलया गया है अथवा नहीं। कमेटी समस अमभलेखों का परीकण करेगी और जररत पडने पर तहसीलदार से मकसी उमचत दसावेज की मांग कर सके गी। यमद नायालय मनणरय पर सकम सर से नो अपील का मनणरय मलया गया है तो मजला सरीय कमेटी परीकण उपरान नामानरण हेतु अपनी अनुशंषा करेगी। यमद नायालय मनणरय पर सकम सर दारा अपील का मनणरय मलया गया है तो GLMAC नामानरण आवेदन को मनरस मकये जाने की अनुशंषा करेगी। 7. It is observed that in the instant matter, the Tehsildar and the petitioner, Patwari, appear to have acted in cahoots/hand-in- glove and have bypassed the mandatory provisions of the Circular dated 12.09.2024. In an apparent haste to confer undue benefit upon the private litigant, without awaiting the statutory period for filing an appeal or obtaining the requisite clearance from the GLMAC, the revenue records were tampered with within a mere span of 15 days. 8. The alleged conduct, prima facie, amounts to a flagrant violation of the said Circular and constitutes conduct unbecoming of a government servant. Furthermore, the defense raised regarding the directions of the superior authority involves disputed questions of fact, which cannot be adjudicated in writ jurisdiction. Therefore, no case for indulgence is made out. 9. In light of above, present petition is dismissed. Pending applications, if any, shall also stand dismissed. (SAMEER JAIN),J Pooja /40
