R.M.Patne, AGP Adv. for respondent nos.2 and 4. CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. 15th January, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. : : : 1. Admittedly the Civil Suit is pending. The orders passed and challenged in this petition are by authorities who have exercised powers under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. It is well :2: :2: :2: settled that whatever their observations, conclusions and findings may be, they do not decide the rights of parties to immovable properties. The nature of their power being such, these observations and conclusions do not bind the competent civil courts while adjudicating the right, title and interest of the parties to immovable properties. Hence, there is no basis for the apprehension expressed by the learned counsel for the petitioners. If the petitioners adopt appropriate proceedings, needless to state that the same would be decided uninfluenced by the observations and conclusions drawn by the Revenue Authorities, but, on the basis of oral and documentary evidence. With this clarification, the petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. sd/- *********
