Mr.Suneet Goel, counsel for respondent No.3. Mr.Adarsh Vashista, counsel for respondent No.7 Mr.Anand Sharma, counsel for respondent No.9. Mr.K.S. Kanwar, counsel for respondents 10 & 11. This order may be read in continuation of our order dated 11.11.2009. We had in the aforesaid order came to the conclusion that the order of the Settlement Collector changing the classification of the land from ‘Van’ to ‘Jaye Safed’ has been passed without the Tehsildar himself visiting the spot and without noticing the orders of the Apex Court in T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpad’s case. We had therefore directed the District Collector i.e. Deputy Commissioner, Chamba to personally visit the spot, get the demarcation done in his own presence and file his report in the Court. This report has been filed which is taken on record. The parties, if aggrieved, by the said report can file their objections before the Settlement Collector, in case the settlement operations are still on. The Settlement Collector shall reconsider the application filed by Sh.Raj Kumar, previous owner of the property which application may be prosecuted by the present owner. He shall decide the same on merits keeping in view the latest position. In case, the settlement operations are over then the present owners may move fresh applications for change of classification before the Collector concerned. The Collector shall then take a decision as to whether the entry has to be changed from ‘Van’ to ‘Jaye Safed’ and in respect of which area keeping in view the factual position on the spot. We may make it clear that all the parties are at liberty to raise all pleas before the Settlement Collector or the Collector as the case may be. Needless to say that parties shall be at liberty to take appropriate remedy if they are not satisfied by the decision of the Settlement Collector or Collector as the case may be. After these orders, nothing survives in the writ petition which is accordingly disposed of. All the miscellaneous applications are also disposed of. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. April 7, 2010 ( V.K.
