Order The writ petitioner has filed this review petition. The writ petition was filed on the premise that the revenue authorities are not collecting land revenue on the ground of pendency of civil litigations. It is clarified that civil litigations cannot stand in the way of the State collecting the land revenue. Accordingly it is ordered that if the land revenue officers had any information about any pending civil suits, they can indicate it in the receipt. This review petition is now filed pointing out that civil litigations are pending only regarding some portions of the entire land claimed by the petitioner and therefore, he is entitled to tax receipt without endorsement of pendency of the civil suit relating to such portions. As noted in RP783/10 -: 2 :- the judgment in the writ petition, there appears to be some controversy in relation to the title. Therefore, it would not be feasible for the revenue authorities to issue any particular certificate or tax receipt to make it appear that there is no litigation in relation to any parcel. If there is controversy as to the identity of the property over which the litigation stands, it will be open to the parties to get such orders from the civil court as may be necessary for protection of their properties. Without prejudice to that, this review petition stands dismissed. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Sha/2709
