DATE : 19TH NOVEMBER, 2009. PER COURT : 1. Leave to add State Authorities as party. Learned A.G.P. waives notice for the added parties. 2. I have heard learned counsel Shri Talekar and Shri Kale for some time. The various orders passed by City Survey Officer, Superintendent of Land Records, Deputy Director of Land Records were gone through. Some factual disputes were also raised before this Court regarding the share in the property of the contesting parties and some other persons. 3. The scope of this Petition need not be widen as it is restricted to an entry in the city survey record. It is settled principle that the entry in the city survey record or in 7/12 extract is useful for presumptive purposes or for fiscal purposes. Mere entry in the city survey record does not confer title on any person. Issue of title has to be got decided/ 3 settled by approaching the Civil Court. 4. Without entering into the merits of the issue, as to whose entry ultimately should be reflected in the city survey record in respect of property bearing city survey No.15187/A-70 located in Aurangabad city, uniform formula is worked out with the consent of both the counsel appearing for respective contesting parties. 5. I therefore, record that both the learned counsel Shri Talekar and Shri Kale make a statement, on instructions, that the entries in the city survey record or in any other revenue record in respect of the subject property as stated above, would be recorded after the parties get the issue of their title/share/interest, settled by approaching the Civil Court. Till then whatever entries appearing in the city survey record in respect of any of the parties, would not be considered to be final and conclusive, and they would remain suspended. 6. It is clarified that this Court has not expressed 4 any opinion on the merits of the claim of the title/interest/share in the property or in respect of the entitlement of either of the parties to get their names entered into the city survey record. 7. With these observations, Writ Petition stands disposed of. [NARESH H. PATIL, J.] asb/NOV09/wp4344.09
