That any other relief or reliefs may also be granted to the petitioner which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.” 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the land bearing Khasra Nos.1118/118 and 1111/99, Rakba 1.902 and 1.0920 hectares respectively, situated at Village Barima, Tahsil Mainpat, District Surguja (C.G.), is in possession of the petitioner on the basis of granting patta (Annexure P-1) issued in her favour in the year 1982. Since then, the petitioner has remained in continuous possession of the said land. However, since the year 2022, villagers have repeatedly made complaints to various revenue authorities, pursuant to which, notices have been issued to the petitioner. Ultimately, on the basis of complaint made by villagers, the Tahsildar, Mainpat, Distt. Surguja (Respondent No.4) registered Revenue Case No.202602020800018/B-121/2025-26, and notice has been issued to the petitioner. The allegation against the petitioner is that she fraudulently obtained the said patta and got her name recorded in the revenue records. He further submits that the patta was issued more than 40 years ago, based on which, the subject land has been duly recorded in the name of petitioner in the revenue records. “Rin Pustika” has also been issued in her favour. Despite that, various revenue authorities have been issuing notices to her, and the Tahsildar, Mainpat has also initiated the aforesaid revenue case. Hence, learned counsel prays that the present writ petition may be admitted for hearing. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the State/Respondent Nos.1 to 4 submits that complaint has been made by the villagers alleging that the 3 petitioner obtained the patta fraudulently and recorded her name in the revenue records illegally. Therefore, respondent No.4/the Tahsildar, Mainpat has registered the aforesaid revenue case, which is presently under consideration. Hence, it is submitted that the present petition is not maintainable. 5. Having considered the issue involved in the instant petition, it is evident that Revenue Case No.202602020800018/B-121/2025-26 has been initiated by respondent No.4/the Tahsildar, Mainpat on account of complaint made by the villagers alleging that the petitioner obtained the patta fraudulently and also recorded her name in the revenue records. As the matter is presently under examination before the Tahsildar, Mainpat, this Court is not inclined to admit the instant petition at this stage, hence, the same is disposed of. However, respondent No.4/the Tahsildar, Mainpat, District Surguja is directed to decide the aforesaid Revenue Case No.202602020800018/B-121/2025-26 within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt/submission of a copy of this order. Till then, no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner, and no further notices shall be issued to her by any other revenue authorities. 6. With aforesaid observation and direction, the present writ petition stands disposed of. 7. Pending interlocutory application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. No order as to cost(s).
