1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4144/09 Kalu Ram & Ors. vs. State & Ors. Date of order : 17/4/2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Mahesh Gupta for the petitioner. ****** Petitioner has come up in writ petition against the judgement of Board of Revenue dated 22.9.08 by which the appeal of the State of Rajasthan has been allowed and the decision which was passed in his favour by Revenue Appellate Authority was set aside and that of Additional District Collector, Jaipur was restored. Shri Mahesh Gupta, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the matter on 5.9.08 was merely fixed for considering application of Chittar Mal S/o Chhotu Ram for impleadment of the party and Shri Ganga Ram Choudhary, who has been described as counsel representing petitioner, was in fact appearing on his behalf. Petitioner was represented before the Board of Revenue by learned counsel Shri Hemant Sogani who could not appear on 22.9.01 because the matter was earlier fixed on 10.7.2001, which date was 2 declared as public holiday. Then the matter was posted for 8.8.01, which information could not be received either by the petitioner or by his counsel, on which date the judgement was reserved and was ultimately pronounced on 22.9.01. In these circumstances, the matter went unattended from the side of petitioner and was decided against him. It is submitted that the petitioner filed an application for review on this ground, but the review petition has so far not been taken up by the Board of Revenue for consideration. The respondents are going to take coercive steps against the petitioner on that basis. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with direction to the Board of Revenue to consider and decide the review petition of the petitioner within a period of six months from the date copy of this order is produced before it after due notice to the other affected party. Learned counsel for the petitioner at this stage submitted that interim protection should be provided to the petitioner. 3 Petitioner would also be liberty to make a request in that behalf to the Board of Revenue in his review petition which shall receive its due consideration as per law on priority basis prior to deciding the main review petition.
