SUKHBIR N ARAIN Vs. DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CONSOLIDATION

Decided On February 19, 1987
SUKHBIR NARAIN Appellant
V/S
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CONSOLIDATION Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) We have not been shown any good reason to interfere with the orders passed by the High Court dismissing the Writ Petitions instituted by the appellants in order to challenge the revisional orders passed by the Deputy Director, Chakbandi, Uttat Pradesh, Consolidation, on January 9, 1970. The Deputy Director has concurred with the view taken by both the lower authorities and has rejected the claim of the appellants for correction of the entries in order to include their names. The High Court could not have interfered with this order under Art. 227 of the Constitution of India unless there was any error apparent on the face of the order. It has not been shown that the impugned orders manifest any such error which would warrant the exercise of the powers of the High Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. We do not propose to go into details as having taken into account all the relevant circumstances we are of the opinion that High Court was justified in dismissing the Writ Petitions in limine. If the appellants have any right in respect of these lands, it is open to them to pursue such remedy as may be open to them in accordance with law. There will be no order as to costs.
