Respondents (Cause title is downloaded from CIS Periphery.) For Petitioner : Ms. Astha Shukla, Counsel on behalf of Mr. Vaibhav Shukla, Advocate. For State : Mr. Abhishek Gupta, P.L. Hon’ble Mr. Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 25/08/2026 RAVVA UTTEJ KUMAR RAJU Digitally signed by RAVVA UTTEJ KUMAR RAJU Date: 2026.08.25 16:12:17 +0530 2 1. The petitioner has filed the instant petition for following reliefs:- “(i) That the Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue an appropriate writ directing the Respondent No. 2/SDO (R) to conclude the proceedings under Section 250A of the Code, 1959 against the Respondent No. 4/Usha Bai in Revenue Case No. 202211130900025/A-70/2022-23 within 30 days. (ii) That the Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue an appropriate writ directing the Respondents No. 2 & 3 to restore the possession of the petitioner over Khasra No. 152 (now 152/2), admeasuring 192 sq. meter illegally occupied by the Respondent No. 4/Usha Bai. (iii) Pass any other order(s) as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice.” 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had preferred an application under Section 250-A of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959, upon which the competent Tahsildar passed an appropriate order on 24.01.2017. It is submitted that the said order has not been assailed by any of the parties by way of appeal or any other proceeding and, therefore, the same has attained finality and is binding upon the parties. She further submits that despite the order having attained finality, the same has not been implemented/executed till date, notwithstanding repeated requests and representations made by the petitioner before the concerned authorities. It is also submitted that the petitioner again preferred an application under Section 250-A of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959, in the year 2022, but the said application is still pending consideration. She 3 lastly submits that in view of the aforesaid circumstances the petitioner would be satisfied if a limited direction is issued to the competent authority to consider and decide the pending application of the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a stipulated period, preferably within 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the order passed by this Court. 3. Learned State counsel, on the other hand, does not oppose the limited prayer made by the petitioner. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the material placed on record, this Court finds that the grievance of the petitioner is essentially with regard to non-consideration of his pending application and non-implementation of the order dated 24.01.2017 stated to have been passed by the concerned Tahsildar under Section 250-A of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959. It is an admitted position that the petitioner has approached the competent revenue authority and that his application is stated to be pending consideration since the year 2022. Since the petitioner seeks only a limited direction for consideration and disposal of his pending application, this Court is of the view that the ends of justice would be served by directing the competent authority to consider the same and take an appropriate decision in accordance with law. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the petitioner's claim or upon the validity, enforceability or effect of the order dated 24.01.2017, the concerned competent authority is directed to 4 consider the petitioner's pending application under Section 250-A of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959, and pass an appropriate order, strictly in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is further made clear that the competent authority shall consider the matter independently and shall also take into account the order dated 24.01.2017, if the same is found to have attained finality, in accordance with the applicable provisions of law. 5. With this observation and direction, this petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge U.K. Raju
