1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8754 OF 2009 Mali Rama Bari .. Petitioner. Vs. Vijay Arjun Katle & Ors. .. Respondents. Mr.S.A.Sawant for the petitioner. Mr.S.G.Karandikar for respondent no.2. Mrs.P.S.Cardozo A.G.P. for respondent nos.3 to 6 and 8. CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE, J. DATED : 10TH DECEMBER, 2009 P.C. . Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This writ petition arises from the orders passed by the revenue authorities in RTS proceedings. Mutuation Entry No.1561 dated 6.11.1984 is under challenge in these proceedings. There is no dispute that the said mutuation entry was made on the basis of order dated 24.9.1984, passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer in exercise of the powers conferred on him by the provisions of Maharashtra Restoration of Land to Schedule Tribes Act, 1974. Mr.Sawant, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner intends to challenge the said order (dated 24.9.1984) before appropriate authority. He further submits that the petitioner may be given liberty to approach revenue authorities afresh for effecting necessary 2 changes in the record of rights if the petitioner finally succeeds in those proceedings. In view of the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am satisfied that this writ petition can be conveniently disposed of by the following order: It is open to the petitioner to file appropriate proceedings challenging the order dated 24.9.1984 before the appropriate authority/tribunal. If the petitioner files any such proceeding and ultimately succeeds the petitioner will have a liberty to approach the revenue authorities afresh for effecting necessary changes in the record of rights. It is made clear that all contentions of the parties including the issue of limitation are kept open. It is also open to the petitioner to file a civil suit, if so advised, for appropriate relief. It is needless to state that the concerned authority/Tribunal/Court shall decide the proceedings/suit, if filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law and uninfluenced by the observations made by the revenue authorities in these proceedings. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
