1 S. B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.133/2007 LRs OF RAM CHANDRA V. STATE OF RAJASTHAN & ORS. DATE OF ORDER ::: 01/04/2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MUNISHWAR NATH BHANDARI Mr. V.K.Sharma, for Petitioner (s). The petitioners have filed this writ petition to challenge the order passed by the Tehsildar on the ground that the land in dispute remained under the cultivatory possession of the petitioners' father from the year, 1974 till 2005. The prayer of the petitioners, in the present writ petition , is that the respondents may charge cost of the land in dispute, but in that view, petitioners should not be disturbed from possession. For making such a prayer, the petitioner was under an obligation to make a representation to the competent authority if the land could otherwise be allotted in accordance with the Rules therein. However, no such representation has been preferred and directly, jurisdiction of this Court has been invoked. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners will make a representation. However, the competent authority 2 may be directed to decide the said representation expeditiously, i.e., within a period of one month from the date of submission of the required representation and, in view of that, the issue so raised in the present writ petition need not to press, but liberty may be given to the petitioner that if ultimately, representation is not decided in favour of the petitioner, then he may approach this Court on the grounds raised herein. Looking to the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, liberty is given to the petitioners to make a representation to the competent authority for the prayer made in this writ petition and in case, such representation is made, the competent authority is expected to decide the same expeditiously and if possible within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The present writ petition is disposed of accordingly. However, the petitioners will be at liberty to file fresh writ petition if the representation is decided against them. (M. N. BHANDARI), J. scd
