DATED: 8TH FEBRUARY, 2008 DATED: 8TH FEBRUARY, 2008 DATED: 8TH FEBRUARY, 2008 P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This writ petition is arising from an order passed by the Revenue Authorities in RTS proceedings. These proceedings raise several disputed questions of facts. The rights of the parties have not been adjudicated by the competent court. The only remedy to the parties in such situation is to institute a civil suit and get established their rights and thereafter approach the revenue authorities for effecting necessary entries in the revenue record in pursuance of the final outcome of the civil proceedings. In the present case, the Commissioner had disposed of the revision in 1997 and thereafter the second revision was preferred by the petitioner before the Government. The Government has disposed of the second revision by the order dated 4.5.2007 holding that the second revision is not maintainable. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case this writ petition is disposed of with liberty, as sought by the learned counsel for the petitioner, to file civil suit with appropriate prayers and to approach the revenue authorities afresh after the civil suit is finally decided. While granting the liberty I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case. The civil court shall decide the suit, if filed, on merits in accordance with law. Insofar as the disputed entries in the revenue record are concerned the parties to maintain status quo as of today only for a period of four weeks from today. The writ petition is dismissed.
