1. Heard Sri Lal Ji Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State respondents. Sri Pradeep Singh, Advocate, has accepted notice on behalf of respondent Gaon Sabha. 2. The present petition has been filed seeking a direction to the respondent authorities to implement the orders dated 30.09.2023 and 30.09.2019 passed in proceedings under Section 122B of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950 for eviction of encroachers and recovery of damages. 3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the aforementioned orders have been passed by the revenue authorities for removal of illegal encroachment, but the same have not been given effect to. 4. Learned Standing Counsel has raised a preliminary objection that in view of the judgment of Division Bench of this Court in case of Manbhavati v. State of U.P. and others reported in 2020 1 AWC 789 and Writ C No. 7863 of 2018 (Brij Bhushan Rai v. State of U.P. and 6 others) the writ petition is not maintainable for execution of orders passed by revenue authorities. It has been further submitted by learned Standing Counsel that in view of provisions of paragraph no. 460 of the U.P. Revenue Court Manual, the petitioner has remedy for getting the order implemented. For ready reference, paragraph no. 460 of the U.P. Revenue Court Manual, is quoted as under: Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Lal Ji Pandey Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C., Pradeep Singh Fahim Khan .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P.
