Hence this Petition. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the dispute was contested between Respondent Nos.3 to 7 and 8, however, without there being any connection, the land belonging to the petitioner bearing Khasra No.992 has been illegally roped in the dispute. Further, the petitioner has never been 3 made party to said proceedings either before Collector or Commissioner, Surguja Division Ambikapur, therefore, any proceeding by Tehsildar against the petitioner is contrary to the provisions of Chattisgarh Land Revenue Code. He submits that petitioner has filed his reply in relation to proceedings of Tehsildar and contended that no order has been passed in respect of petitioner’s land as the disputed Khasra number is 2137/6 and the petitioner owns Khasra No.992. 4. Learned counsel for Respondent Nos.4, 5 & 7 and State counsel would not dispute the fact that petitioner was never made party before Collector, Commissioner and Tehsildar. 5.

The Tehsildar, Ramanujganj in the said proceedings issued notice to the petitioner through memo dated 18.05.2022 (Annexure P/5) and asked her to 4 present documents in respect of the subject land. 8.
