*1* wp.1507.11.936.sxw kps IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1507 OF 2011 Suhas Vishnupant Bandewar. ..Petitioner ­Versus­ Ashok Damodar Murkewar and others. ..Respondents .......... Mr.Surel S. Shah, for the Petitioner. Mr.Avinash B. Avhad, for the Respondent No.1. Mr.A.I.Patel, AGP, for the Respondent Nos.3 and 4. .......... CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. Date : 29th June, 2011. P.C.: 1 Heard Mr.Shah, learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner. The Petitioner is aggrieved and dissatisfied by the order dated 28.10.2010 passed by the Minister for State, Department of Revenue, Government of Maharashtra in an appeal which was preferred by the present Petitioner. 2 The argument of Mr.Shah is that in the appeal that has been preferred by the Petitioner, the relief has been granted in favour of the Respondent No.1. He invites my attention to the fact that the Respondent No.1 has not preferred any appeal. Even the Respondent No.2 has not preferred any appeal to the Minister. In the Petitioner’s appeal, the orders and directions in their favour could not have been issued and particularly, to make changes in the revenue entries which have been certified in favour of the Petitioner. 3 The dispute is in relation to the title of the parties to the immovable properties. The rights of the parties, inter­se, or whether, there is any partition of the said property, are matters which are covered by the *2* wp.1507.11.936.sxw adjudication by a civil court. Nothing prevents the Petitioner from approaching the civil court and claiming such reliefs. The civil court, when approached, must decide the dispute on the basis of the oral and documentary evidence, uninfluenced by any order and direction of the revenue authorities including that of the Minister. Merely because the Minister has passed certain orders and directions with regard to the revenue entries that too in favour of the party who was not Appellant, does not mean that the civil court is going to be influenced by the exercise undertaken by the Minister. The civil court would decide the dispute uninfluenced by any order and observation made by the authorities. Therefore, the apprehension of the Petitioner that even the interim application will not be decided in accordance with law, but the competent civil court will be influenced to great extent by the Minister’s exercise; is not well founded. The civil court decides the matter on the basis of the material placed by the parties before it and not on the basis or on the strength of the orders and directions of the revenue authorities. All contentions of both sides in relation to the right, title and interest in the property are kept open. 3 The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above clarification. No costs. (S.C.
