(1.) List has been revised. No one has appeared on behalf of the respondents.

(2.) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

(3.) It appears from the records that one Sureman was the co-tenure holder of Khata No. 24 and 63. Orders dated 18.5.1971 and 19.5.1971 were passed by the Assistant Consolidation Officer (hereinafter referred to as, 'A.C.O.') in Case Nos. 1132 and 1244 wherein the respondents and their predecessors-in-interest were recorded as tenure holders of the disputed plots and the name of Sureman was deleted. The orders were passed ostensibly on the basis of some compromise. Against the orders dated 18.5.1971 and 19.5.1971 passed by the A.C.O. in Case Nos. 1132 and 1244, one Smt. Ramkali filed Appeal Nos. 1018 and 1021 under Section 11(1) of the Uttar Pradesh Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953 (hereinafter referred to as, 'Act, 1953') on the ground that the aforesaid orders were passed without following the mandatory procedure prescribed in Rule 25-A of U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Rules, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as, 'Rules, 1954').
