Revenue Code, 2006 after remand from the Board of Revenue vide its order dated 17.11.2026, has been rejected. 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that vide order dated 17.11.2025 while remanding the matter back, the Board of Revenue has categorically observed that all the parties concerned are required to be heard after due notice, evidence, arguments and only then the final order shall be passed by the S.D.M. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner claims his right over the property in question and also claims that he is having the construction over the said land in question and has also filed suit for injunction in the civil court, which is also pending with regard to the same property. In such view of the matter, it would have been appropriate for the S.D.M. to at-least implead the petitioner as a party and decide the proceedings.
