After the rights of the parties are determined in the tenancy proceedings and in the suit, it is open to the parties to approach the concerned revenue authority afresh for effecting necessary changes in the record of rights. It is also open to the petitioners to institute civil and/or tenancy proceedings for appropriate reliefs against the respondents, if they so desire. The mutation entry in dispute shall remain operative subject to outcome of all the aforementioned proceedings. It is open to the parties to approach the tenancy authorities as well as the civil court where the tenancy 3 proceedings/suit are pending for expeditious hearing and their disposal within time frame. If such applications are filed, the tenancy authorities as well as the concerned court shall pass appropriate order and shall endeavour to dispose of the proceedings/suit expeditiously. Interim order passed by this Court to remain operative for a period of eight weeks to enable the petitioners to file appropriate proceedings, as aforementioned. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) 4
