1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4849/2006 (Siya Ram Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.) Date of order :: 15.02.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.I.R. Choudhary, for the petitioner. Mr.O.P. Boob, Addl. Govt. Advocate. Heard learned counsel for the parties. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the so called correct in the entry was made in the revenue record without providing any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner by the local authorities. According to the petitioner, before making correction in the entry made in revenue record, no notice whatsoever has been given to the petitioner. 2 It is expected from the local authorities to provide opportunity of hearing to a person as and when any adverse order is passed against him. Learned counsel for the petitioner has invited the attention of this Court towards the judgment rendered in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5345/2003 alongwith as many as 61 writ petitions, wherein the learned Single Judge of this Hon'ble High Court has set aside the order of correction of entries and the parties were relegated to the concerned Tehsildar. Further it was ordered that the petitioner may be given opportunity of hearing and he be permitted to raise his all legitimate objections and thereafter matter may be decided objectively by the concerned Tehsildar. Learned Addl. Govt. Advocate does not dispute this position and vehemently argued that till the disposal of the matter by the Tehsildar with regard to correction of entries made in the revenue record, the 3 status quo as it exists today shall be maintained. In this view of the matter the impugned order dated 20.02.2004 (Annexure-1) is set aside. The matter is remanded to the concerned Tehsildar for deciding the same afresh after providing opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Further it is also ordered that till final decision of the matter by concerned Tehsildar with regard to correction of entry in the revenue record, the status quo as it exists today shall be maintained. However, it is made clear that in case the petitioner fails to approach the Tehsildar within the stipulated time, the earlier order shall stand restored. With the aforesaid observations/directions, the writ petition is disposed of. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J. A.K. Chouhan/-
