1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1716 OF 2010 Shri Vishnu Rama Patil and ors ..Petitioners Vs The State of Maharashtra and ors ..Respondents Shri V.A. Gangal, Sr.Advocate with Mr Ashok T Gade, Advocate for the petitioners. Shri Kiran N Joshi, Advocate for respondent no.10. Shri S.D.Rayrikar, AGP, for respondent nos 1 to 3. CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI,J. DATE : 18/07/2011 PC: 1. Heard both sides. Having perused the order under challenge, all that is directed is insertion of the name, of the first respondent to the application and who is also a respondent in this writ petition, in the revenue records. That is on the basis that the name was erroneously not recorded although the land was in his possession. It may be that the petitioners are disputing the possession of the said respondent in respect of the subject land. However, merely because they are so disputing and that objection has been overruled by the authorities would not, in any manner, prevent them from asserting their rights, title and interest in the immovable property by approaching the competent court. If the said court is approached, needless to T 2 state that it will adjudicate the issue of possession on the basis of title and render an independent finding. Such finding would be rendered on the basis of the oral and documentary evidence led before the competent court. Apprehension of the petitioner that the civil court would be influenced by the exercise taken by the revenue authorities, is misplaced. The writ petition is disposed of with this clarification.
