Mr. K.P. Upadhyay, Addl. Chief Standing Counsel present for the respondents. 2) Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2 3) By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought writ in the nature of mandamus, commanding the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from their respective chaks, without passing any order for measurement and delivery of possession. 4) Brief facts of the case are that petitioners are residents of Village Toda Kaliyanpur, Tehsil Roorkee, District Haridwar. After consolidation operations under the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act 1953, on 30th October 2008, proceedings under Section 24 of said Act were finalized. Petitioners’ case is that on the complaint of certain villagers the respondents are getting done ‘chak parivartan’ by measuring the plots afresh and thereby the crop sown by the petitioners is getting destroyed. Hence, the writ petition. 5) Learned counsel for the petitioners drew attention of this Court to Para 339 of the U.P. Revenue Court Manual and argued that such measurements or ‘chak parivartan’ can be made between 15th may and 30th June when there is no crop standing on the fields. In this connection, it is contended that by making ‘chak parivartan’ the respondents are causing destruction to the standing crops of the petitioners. 6) Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after going through the papers on record, this writ petition is summarily disposed of with the direction that 3 the petitioners may make a representation to respondent No. 1 for redressal of their grievances, within a period of one week and said authority shall dispose of the same within a period of three weeks thereafter, relating to the request of the petitioners to defer the ‘chak parivartan’ in view of the standing crops. (Interim Relief Application No. 9052 of 2008 also stands disposed of). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) Dt.: December 31, 2008 H.Negi
