allowed. Aggrieved thereby the private respondent filed appeal no. 139 of 2012. The Appellate Authority vide order dated 09.08.2012 remanded the case back to the DCLR for passing a fresh order. On remand the DCLR after hearing the parties, vide order on 05.02.2013 passed in case no. 135 of 2012, restrained the private respondents from interfering with the title/possession of the petitioner over the subject land. The Circle Officer, Aurangabad as well as the Officer in-charge of the concerned police station was also directed to ensure the compliance of the order. It is stated that the respondent did not file any appeal their against. However, the petitioner is being denied the fruit of the order. The writ application, prays for a direction for implementation of the order dated 05.02.2013 (Annexure-2).

¶11

In my view, this Court cannot be reduced as an Executing Authority/Court of the order of the DCLR or any order passed by the Tribunal. From Annexure-3, it appears notice in the light of the order of the DCLR was issued by the Circle Officer, Aurangabad. The petitioner can agitate the grievance either before the Deputy Collector Land Reforms or before the District Collector who heads the administration at the district level. It is submitted that a representation in this regard has been filed before the District Magistrate which is pending consideration.
