Hon’ble Shri Arvind Kumar Verma, Judge
Order on Board
04.08.2025
1. The present petition is filed by the petitioners with following relief(s):
“10.1 That, this Hon’ble Court may be kind enough in
issuing an appropriate writ, order or direction,
directing the respondents, to bring all the records
relates to the Subject Land of the petitioner.
10.2 That, this Hon’ble Court may be kind enough in
issuing an appropriate writ, order or direction,
directing the respondents, particularly direct the
Respondent No.04 Tehsildar, Pussore to consider and
decide the application for grant of necessary
certificates for sell and supply the certificate of 22
points information showing four boundaries of land
bearing Khasra Nos. 44, 45, 50/2, and 60/2,
measuring a total of 0.5260 hectares, situated in
3Patwari Halka No. 08, Village Boirdih, Revenue
Circle Netnagar, Tehsil – Pussore, District Raigarh
(C.G.)
10.3 That the Hon’ble court be further pleased to
direct the Respondent No.3 Tehsildar, Pussore,
District- Raigarh (C.G.) to supply the certificates of
22 points information of subject land mentioned in the
application to the petitioner within stipulated period.
10.4 Pass such other and further order(s) as may be
deemed just and proper in the interest of justice,
equity, and good conscience, including the cost of the
petition.”
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the present writ
petition is being filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India
seeking issuance of an appropriate writ, order, or direction against the
inaction of the respondent revenue authorities, who have arbitrarily and
without lawful justification failed to issue the mandatory 22-point
information certificate (Baees Nikas Patrak) and sale permission/NOC
for the petitioners’ ancestral land situated in Village Boirdih, District
Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The said land stands lawfully recorded in the
names of the petitioners, who are the sole legal heirs of the original
4
recorded owner and have been in peaceful, undisputed possession since
mutation in 2022. Despite filing proper applications and completing all
statutory formalities, the revenue officials have not acted upon the
petitioners’ request and kept the matter pending without any written
order or explanation. This inaction is in clear violation of the
Chhattisgarh Lok Sewa Guarantee Adhiniyam, 2011, which mandates
time-bound delivery of public services including issuance of land-related
certificates. The conduct of the authorities violates the petitioners’
constitutional rights under Articles 14 and 300A, amounts to
administrative arbitrariness, and constitutes a failure of public duty. The
petitioners, being women from a rural background and unaware of
complex legal formalities, promptly approached legal counsel upon
receiving credible information, and now seek judicial intervention to
enforce their right to receive the necessary revenue documents in
accordance with law.
3. Learned State counsel submits that if the petitioners submit a fresh
representation before the Tahsildar, Pussore, the Tahsildar, Pussore,
District Raigarh is ready to decide the same in accordance with law.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record with
utmost circumspection.
5. Considering the facts of the case and submission made by learned
counsel for the parties, at this stage this petition is disposed of by
5
permitting to the petitioners to submit a fresh representation before
respondent No.4 – Tahsildar, Pussore, District Raigarh raising their all
grievances and in-turn respondent No.4 shall consider and decide the
same expeditiously preferably within an outer limit of ’30 days’ from the
date of receipt of copy of this order, in accordance with rules, regulations
& law, as per Lok Sewa Guarantee Adhiniyam, 2011 and also as per
Annexure P/3 of this petition.
6. With the aforesaid directions, the instant petition is disposed of.
