Naik, JJ. DATE : 10.03.2008. Heard Mr. Anand Parchure, Adv. for the Petitioner, Mr.Deopujari, Assistant Government Pleader for the Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 and Mr.Subhash Paliwal, Adv. for the Respondent No.3. Following facts are not in dispute : That the Municipal Council was claiming title on the land in question bearing plot Nos.183 as well as 219 situated at Bhandara. The petitioner had filed Civil Suit No.16 of 1979 for declaration of title, which was dismissed by the Civil Court in the year 1981. The Appeal preferred by the petitioner against the judgment and order passed by the trial Court bearing No.106 of 1982 was also dismissed by the Appellate Court on 9.9.1983. In that view of the matter, the alternate prayer made by the petitioner whereby direction is sought to the respondents to decide the representation of the petitioner dt. 30.9.2004 cannot be granted, particularly in view of the notification 2 dt. 29.12.1969 issued by the competent Authority which is annexed as Annexure A with the submissions filed on behalf of the respondent no.3 apart from the fact of dismissal of suit and appeal. Consequently, the petition suffers from lack of merits. Hence, the same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE ssj
