STATE OF U.P. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

SIBGHAT ULLAH KHAN, J. - (1.) LEARNED standing counsel has agreed for final disposal of the writ petition without filing counter affidavit.
(2.) IN this writ petition on 25.08.2009 following order was passed : "Through five lines order contained in Annexure-1 Consolidation Officer, Anoop Sahar District Bulandshahar has cancelled the names of the petitioners which were continuing since 1992 in the Khatauni, copy of which is Annexure-2 to the writ petition. The land in dispute is mentioned as Shreni-3 and in possession of asamies. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that several such orders have been passed by C.O., Annopsahar District Bulandsahar. Shri N.P.Pandey, learned standing counsel shall at once seek instructions in this regard. The court completely fails to understand that why Revenue authorities and Consolidation authorities pass orders cancelling long standing entries without hearing the parties concerned. This is virtually massacre of Justice. When large number of people are involved notice may be served through publication as held by me in 2009 (107) R.D. 405 Kunti v. Commissioner. Such types of orders are actually against the State for the reason that when such orders are challenged higher court will have no option except to stay operation of the order for the reason that order of expunging long standing entry is passed without assigning any reason and without providing any opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned. The word farzi is being used by these authorities so frequently that it has lost its meaning. The court gets an impression that such types of unreasoned orders without providing opportunity of hearing are being passed in-fact to unduly benefit the tenure holders so that they may easily get stay order from the higher courts. In the instant case Revenue Officers made the entry in the khatauni 1499 to 1404 fasli. In the impugned order dated 29.8.2007 there is no mention that what action has been initiated against the officers/officials who entered the name of the petitioners and before them the name of their predecessor in interest in the revenue records. There is a mention of some Government order dated 19.6.2006 in the impugned order. The said G.O. must also be shown to the court. Put up as fresh on 28.8.2009. Until 28.8.2009 petitioners shall not be dis-possessed. Office is directed to supply a copy of this order free of cost to Shri N.P.Pandey, learned standing counsel by tomorrow." This writ petition is directed against order dated 29.08.207 passed by C.O. Anoopshahr, District Bulandshahr in case no.7/80 of 2008-09 State v. Kanchhid and others.
(3.) LEARNED counsel has supplied copy of G.O. Dated 19.06.2006 issued by Commissioner and Secretary Board of Revenue Lucknow to all D.M.S. On the basis of the said G.O. impugned order is stated to have been passed.;
