Since all the above writ petitions are based on similar facts and arise out of the same order, therefore, they are being heard and decided finally by this common order.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in pursuance

[2023/RJJD/003983]

[CW-146/2023]

under Section 91 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, the petitioners appeared before him and submitted the reply. However, the notice under Section 91 was decided against the petitioners vide order dated 29.09.2022. Aggrieved against the order dated 23.09.2022 passed by Tehsildar, Sindhari, the petitioners preferred an appeal under Section 75 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act before the respondent No.2-Collector Barmer. He submits that vide order dated 03.11.2022, notices have been issued on the appeal as well as on the stay application and the appeal is pending consideration.

¶121

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that without deciding the stay application of the petitioners, the order under challenge passed by the Tehsildar, Sindhari is being implemented and the petitioners are being removed from the shops in question. He submits that if the respondents demolish/remove the petitioners from the property in question (shops), then the appeal before the respondent No.2 will be redundant. He, therefore, prays that till the stay application of the petitioners is decided by respondent No.2, the respondents may be restrained from removing the petitioner from the property (shops) in question.

¶122

Considering the submissions made at the Bar, this court feels that since the appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending consideration before the respondent No.2, the ends of justice will be met, if the petitioners’ possession should not be disturbed till the stay application is heard and decided by the respondent No.2.

¶123

In the circumstances, the writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents that they shall not disturb the possession of the petitioners over the shops in question, till the

The respondent No.2 – Collector, Barmer shall decide the stay application in the appeal preferred by the petitioners at the earliest, preferably within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.

¶127

Stay applications also stand disposed of accordingly.
