HALKA KARAMCHARI, MEH, ANCHAL-BAROON, DISTT. AURANGABAD. …RESPONDENTS ----------- 02. 29.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are aggrieved by order dated 4.3.2011 (Annexure-6), passed by Respondent-Deputy Collector as also the consequential communication dated 5.4.2011 as contained in (Annexure-4), whereby a direction has been issued to dispossess the petitioners from the land(s) appertaining to khatna no.14, khesra nos. 151 and 152 situate in village Meh in the district of Aurangabad. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that two suits being Title Suit Nos.230/96 and 229/09 respecting the subject land(s) were filed in which respondent no.6 has been impleaded as one of the defendants. During the pendency of those suits, respondent no.6 made an application in the Janata Darbar of the Chief Minister and on instruction given 2 thereon the respondent-Collector, Land Reforms, in a hurried manner, passed the impugned order as contained in annexure- 6 without valid service of notice. The petitioners had filed application for recall of the said order which has not been disposed of. Learned counsel submits that since there are already suits pending in respect of the land(s) between the parties in which respondent no.6 has been arrayed as one of the defendants and, as such, petitioners would seek interim injunction/relief in those pending suits respecting the land(s) in question. It is submitted that operation of the orders contained in annexure-6 and 4 may be stayed for sometime enabling the petitioners to approach the court and seek relief in the matter. Learned counsel for the State, in views of the said stand taken by the petitioners, submits that this Court may pass an order in that terms. Having considered the submissions made on behalf of the parties and on going through materials on record, this Court disposes of the application by the following order:- Let the petitioners approach the civil court in the pending suit(s) and seek appropriate relief(s). Order contained in Annexure-6 and the consequential communication contained in Annexure-4 shall hereinafter not be given effect to by the respondents for a period of six (06) weeks. hr ( Kishore K.
