(2.) HEARD Sri Gautam Chaudhary, learned Counsel for the applicant, learned A. G. A. and perused the record.

(3.) THE contention of the applicants is that the Land Management Committee had passed a resolution recommending the allotment of land in favour of the applicant and the same was approved on 10- 10- 1986. THEreafter by order dated 5-5-1998 passed by the Consolidation Officer, mutation was directed to be affected in their names. Against that order objections were filed before the Settlement Officer Consolidation and he allowed the objection by order dated 3-5-2001. A revision No. 172/139 was filed against the order dated 3-5-2001 before the Deputy Director of Consolidation and he by order dated 7- 6-2003 dismissed the revision. THEreafter applicants filed a Writ Petition No. 29461 of 2003 and by order dated 16-7-2003 operation of the impugned orders dated 3-5-2001 and 7-6-2003 was stayed. THE Deputy Director of Consolidation while dismissing the revision on 7-6-2003 had also observed that the matter was already pending before the Collector and according to his order the parties could take legal action in the competent Court. THE Additional Collector, Administration, Aligarh by order dated 22-1- 2004 held that the Land Management Committee had passed the valid resolution and was approved on 10-10-1986 and the complaint was made after 17-18 years on 9-5-2003. He also held that resolution was passed in favour of 71 persons and out of them mutation was done in favour of 35 persons. Against this order a revision No. 96/2004 was filed before the Assistant Commissioner, Agra Region, Agra and he by order dated 24-2-2005 partly allowed the revision and remanded the matter to the Collector. Against that order the applicants filed Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 46405 of 2005 and by order dated 7-7-2005 the operation of the impugned order dated 24-2-2005 has been stayed. It appears that this writ petition is still pending and it shows that the question whether the allotment was legal or not is still subjudice.
