There is no necessity of going into all the details. It appears, during the pendency of revision before the first respondent, on 2.6.1987 D-Form patta was granted in favour of petitoner in respect of the subject land and subsequently pattadar passbook and title deeds were also issued to the petitioner and she has been in possession and enjoyment of the subject land till date. This writ petition was filed challenging the impugned order dated 3.7.2004 passed by the first respondent dismissing the revision filed by the petitoner. However, during the pendency of present writ petition, there was a direction to maintain status quo as on that date in respect of possession of the subject land, which was made absolute on 11.6.2008.
