in Khasra No. 686/570 and 698 in the revenue estate of Village Maidangarhi, Teshil Mehrauli, New Delhi, for the last around 40 years. Her possession and occupation over the aforesaid properties, has been proved/admitted by Gaon Sabha, Maindangarhi even in the year 1996. On 02.04.1996, a Notification was issued by the Revenue Department whereby besides other villages, certain land termed as ‘surplus uncultivated land’ of Gaon Sabha, Maidangarhi, was also excluded from vesting in Gaon Sabha and was placed at the disposal of Forest Department. The employees of the Forest Department in the month of August, 2009, on the basis of Notification dated 02.04.1996, started threatening and harassing Smt. Dhanno of demolishing her properties. Thereafter, respondents arbitrarily demolished the properties in Khasra No. 223 and 224 also. It is stated that in the aforesaid FIR, Khasra number of the said land alleged to be occupied by the petitioner, has not been stated because the Forest Department is aware of the fact that in the revenue record, the land in question is recorded as Gaon Sabha Land and not as Forest Land.
