This appeal has been filed against concurrent judgments of the Courts below dismissing the suit of the plaintiffs for declaration that the path being used in the disputed property belongs to them, and for permanent injunction restraining the respondents from using the said path. Both the Courts below have concurrently found that R.S.A No. 1350 of 2008 (O&M) ::2:: consolidation in the village was revoked in the year 2002; that the property does belong to the plaintiffs; that the respondents have been using this path since the inception of the village and that they have no other access to their fields. The Director, Consolidation Haryana states that the work of consolidation in the village which was earlier revoked has now been taken up in right earnest and the same shall be concluded on or before 31.3.2012. Once the consolidation is done, the matter regarding the provisions of paths, and the cuts to be imposed on the land holdings of various villagers as well as compensation to such villagers whose more land is being used shall be finally and conclusively decided. In view of the above statement, counsel for the appellants states that he does not wish to press this appeal. Consequently, this appeal is dismissed as not pressed in view of the statement made by the Director Consolidation, Haryana. As the main appeal has since been dismissed, all the pending civil miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) January 18, 2010. JUDGE `kk'
