(1.) HEARD Sri S.N. Tripathi for the petitioner and Sri S.P. Singh for the respondents.
(2.) THE writ petition has been filed against the order of Settlement Officer, Consolidation dated 17.1.2013 and Deputy Director of Consolidation dated
13.12.2013 arising out of proceedings under Section 9 -B of UP Consolidation of Holdings Act (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act').
The dispute relates to the valuation of plot no. 1816 of village Mohanpur, majara Khad Mohan Nagar, tehsil Sayana, distt. Bulandshahar. The land in
dispute was the original holding of Ram Kishan and Parmanand S/o Momraj and
Shiv Singh S/o Chaman Lal. A perusal of CH Form 23 of the petitioners shows
that initially valuation of plot no. 1816 has been determined at the rate of 40
paisa and 30 paisa. In chak allotment proceedings this plot was allotted in the
chak of Gaj Raj and others (respondents - 3 and 4). In the year 2006, Ram Kishan
filed an objection under Section 9 -B of the Act, to determine the valuation of plot
no. 1816 at the rate of 50 paisa. The Consolidation Officer by order dated
19.9.2006 condoned the delay and determined the valuation of plot no. 1816 at the rate of 50 paisa and plot no. 1519 at the rate of 60 paisa. Gaj Raj and
Sukhveer filed an appeal from the aforesaid order. In the memorandum of appeal
it has been stated that the petitioners have already filed an objection under
Section 9 -B of the Act for enhancement of valuation of plot no. 1816 which has
been dismissed by the order of Consolidation Officer.
(3.) GAJ Raj and Sukhveer filed an appeal (registered as Appeal No. 845 of 2010) against the order of Consolidation Officer dated 19.9.2006 which has allowed by Settlement Officer, Consolidation by order dated 24.6.2010 and the
order of Consolidation Officer dated 19.9.2006 was set aside. The petitioners
thereafter filed an application for recall of the aforesaid order. The recall
application was allowed by the order dated 13.10.2012 and thereafter the appeal
was restored to its original number. In the meantime one Kalyan Dutt filed
another appeal i.e. Appeal No. 969 of 2011 -12 on 27.9.2012. In the memorandum
of appeal filed by Kalyan Dutt it has been stated that the petitioners have filed an
objection (registered as Case No. 1079) under Section 9 B of the Act for
enhancement of valuation of plot no. 1816 which has been dismissed by the order
of Consolidation Officer. The appeals of Gaj Raj thereafter decided by a separate
order and appeal of Kalyan Dutt was also decided by a separate order dated
17.1.2013. The Settlement Officer, Consolidation found that as the objection of the petitioners for enhancement of valuation of plot no. 1816 has already been
dismissed on merit as such second objection in respect of the same relief was not
maintainable accordingly the appeals were allowed and order of Consolidation
Officer dated 19.9.2006 was set aside. The petitioners filed four revisions, two
revisions were filed against the orders passed in the appeals filed by Gaj Raj, one
revision has been filed against the order passed in the appeal filed by Kalyan Dutt
and another from the order in appeal filed by Murlidhar. All the revisions were
consolidated and dismissed by Consolidation Officer by order dated 13.12.2013
on the same ground.;
