. All these petitions arise out of proceedings under
the Mamlatdars’ Courts Act, 1906 (hereinafter referred to as
“the Act”). The controversy in all these cases pertains to
orders passed under Section 5(2) of the Act whereby the
learned Mamlatdar has passed the order directing the
petitioners to remove obstruction on road claimed by the
respondents/original plaintiffs. The petitioners in all these
petitions are original defendants in proceedings filed under
Section 5 of the Act. In all these cases, the learned Mamlatdar
had passed order against the petitioners directing removal of

challenging the respective orders passed against them under
Section 23(2) of the Act. The revision applications are also

the Act relating to filing and verification of plaint are not
followed; the suits are filed beyond limitation; by the
impugned orders a new road is created, which is beyond the
scope of jurisdiction of the Mamlatdar exercising jurisdiction

with the prescribed procedure and that alternate road is
available.
