THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. In this Writ Petition, petitioner is assailing the order in case No.PRA.BHOO.JAM.NI.REVISION(CHI.BHA)34/2023/24 dated 28.11.2024 (Annexure-A) passed by respondent No.1, inter alia, sought for a direction to respondent No.1 to conduct phodi and durust in respect of the land in question. 2. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the reasons assigned by respondent No.1 at Annexure-A would indicate that the petitioner is seeking fixing the boundaries based on the phodi made during 1983. In that view of the matter, taking into - 7 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010512092026 NC: 2026:KHC:40360 WP No. 23328 of 2026 consideration that re-phodi cannot be done after 42 years of the original phodi made during 1983, the reasons assigned by the respondent-authority are just and proper which do not call for interference in this Writ Petition. 3. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE sac List No.: 1 Sl No.: 34
