1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 4066 OF 2009 Atmaram s/o Shankar Patil & others .. PETITIONERS VERSUS Ratan s/o Shankar Patil & others .. RESPONDENTS Mr. R.P. Dhase, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. V.R. Dhorde, Advocate for respondent nos. 1 to 3. ===== CORAM : R. M. BORDE, J. DATE : 7 th December, 2009 PER COURT : 1 Petitioners herein are raising challenge to recording of revenue entries by the authority. It is contended that the will deed is the basis of recording of revenue entries. There was also criminal litigation initiated at the instance of petitioners, however, that ended in acquittal of the respondent / accused. The respondents claim their entitlement to the disputed property on the strength of will deed which is being disputed by the petitioners herein. It would be open for the petitioners to get their right, title or entitlement decided by the competent civil court. The issue in respect of validity and 2 legality of the will deed can also be gone into by the civil court. If such a dispute is raised, the outcome thereof would govern the fate of revenue entries recorded by the authority. It is well established that revenue entries are recorded for fiscal purpose and the entries in themselves are not the evidence of title of the person in whose favour the entries are recorded. Issue in respect of right, title and entitlement is required to be decided by the civil court. The revenue entires so recorded would be always subject to such determination by the competent civil court. In these circumstances, no interference is called for in the petition in exercise of extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Petition stands rejected. ( R. M. BORDE, J.) dyb/office/wp4066.09.odt
