Salik Singh Thakur, v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
This order in WPC No. 4700 of 2026 addresses a writ petition seeking to quash an order dated 19/06/2026 regarding encroachment over land. The petitioner argued the order was illegal and without jurisdiction. The High Court held that the order was passed in appellate jurisdiction, not revisional jurisdiction. Consequently, the alternative remedy of a revision before the Commissioner exists, which the petitioner failed to exhaust by approaching the Court directly. The writ is disposed of with a direction to file a revision under Section 50 of the C.G. Land Revenue Code before the Commissioner within 15 days.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner is directed to file a revision under Section 50 of the C.G. Land Revenue Code before the concerned Commissioner within 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. An I.A. No.01/2026 is dismissed as not pressed.
