In that view of the matter, this Court is of the considered opinion that no interference is called for with the impugned orders passed by the respondent-authorities in the exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of Constitution of India. 7.

In the event the petitioner institutes appropriate civil proceedings, the observations made by the revenue authorities or the revenue courts in the impugned proceedings shall not bind or influence the Civil Court while adjudicating the dispute on its own merits and in accordance with law. All the contentions of the parties are kept open. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 15
