WALL MOHD Vs. VATAN SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS revision petition is directed against the order of the Dy. Colonisation Commissioner, Bhakra Project dated 6. 10. 61 and 13. 6. 61. By his order dated 6. 10. 61 the Dy. Colonisation Commissioner rejected the application submitted by Shri Wali Mohd. applicant for the review of his order dated 13. 6. 61, whereby he had ordered that the applicant should relinquish Killas No. 1 to 7 in Muraba No. 113/ 276 in favour of Shri Vatan Singh opposite party, amending his earlier order dated 6. 5. 60.

(2.) A preliminary objection was raised by the counsel for the opposite party who urged that the revision was not maintainable in view of the scheme of the Colonisation Act 1954 under which this exchange of land had been ordered by the Dy. Colonisation Commissioner. It was contended that the impugned order was not in respect of a judical matter as defined under Sec. 23 (2) of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act. According to this definition the term judicial matter means a proceeding in which a Revenue Court or an Officer has to determine the rights and liabilities of the parties thereto and the proceedings and orders as well as the appeals, revisions and references in the cases specified in the first schedule are deemed to be judicial matters for the purposes of this Ace.
