1] Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Learned counsel for the
Respondents waive service. Heard.
2] The challenge raised in this writ petition is to the order dated
19/04/2011 passed by Respondent no.5 – Collector issuing directions to
the Sub-Divisional Officer to take steps in the matter of breach of terms
of the grant in respect of land bearing Survey Nos.855, 856
admeasuring about 30 acres that was allotted to the predecessor of the
petitioner. Consequential steps taken by the respondent no.7 Tahsildar
on 30/06/2011 as well as Mutation Entry No.9759 effected by the
Talathi on 14/07/2011 are also under challenge.
3] The principal contention urged on behalf of the petitioner is that
before arriving at a conclusion that there had been breach of terms of
the grant by the petitioner, no opportunity of hearing was granted.
Since such conclusion was to result in affecting the civil rights of the
petitioner, an opportunity of hearing ought to have been granted. In
the light of this submission, on 02/01/2025, the following order was
