JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) These writ petitions
are directed against the order of the Board of
Revenue dated 20/1/2010 (Ann.1) whereby the
revision petition submitted by the petitioner
against the order of the SDO dated 31/8/2009
has been dismissed and the order dated
31/8/2009 (Ann.2) passed by Sub Divisional
Officer, Ramganj Mandi, Kota whereby, application
of the petitioner moved under Order 7
Rule 11 CPC has been rejected.
(2.) Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted
that case of the defendant-petitioner is
that he has not been paid compensation in
terms of Section 89(4) of the Rajasthan Land
Revenue Act, 1956 (for short, "Act of 1956")
and his remedy is to approach the mining
authority under the mining lease against grant
of the mining lease. In case, the mining lease
was granted with the consent of khatedar, a review
under Section 188 would not be maintainable.
It was contended that availability of
appeal or other remedy against the grant of
lease to the defendant would be an implied bar
for maintainability of the revenue suit under
Section 188. Learned counsel for the petitioner
has cited the judgment of Bombay High Court
in Khetan Industries Pvt.Ltd. and others v. Manju Ravindraprasad Khetan, 1995 AIR(Bom) 43 and judgment of Supreme Court in
I.T.C. Limited v. Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal and others, 1998 2 SCC 70. It is argued
that in all the aforesaid judgments, the objection
of implied bar has been upheld.
(3.) Learned counsel for the respondent has opposed
the writ petition and submitted that the
suit under Section 188 of the Act of 1956
would be maintainable because the land was
and continue to be recorded in the khatedari of
the plaintiff. There is no question of implied
bar of such a suit. Consent may not be inferred
because Section 89(4) requires determination
of compensation of the land.;
