Idea is to curtail litigation, not generate it: SC while setting aside HC order on revenue map correction
NEw new delhi, The sublime margaret court on tues distressed that any unnecessary remand of a matter for fresh consideration by a higher court should be avoided as it generates fresh round of litigation.The idea is to curtail the litigation and not generate it, a bench of Justices Rajesh Bindal and Manmohan said, as it set aside an order of the Allahabad High Court, which had remanded back a matter related to authorities rejecting a man's application for correction of a revenue map for fresh consideration after hearing all parties concerned.While dealing with the appeal, the top court noted that court had taken the wrong premise and interpretation of Section 30 of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006, which deals with maintenance of map and the field book. The bench said this could have generated unnecessary further litigation."We may also add that earlier view by this court was that in case there were violations of principles of natural justice, the matter was to be remanded for affording opportunity of hearing to the party concerned. However, with the passage of time, the view changed," the bench said.It further said, "The idea is to curtail the litigation and not generate it. Any unnecessary remand by a higher court generates fresh round of litigation, which should be avoided."Referring to Section 30 of the Code, the bench noted the collector is duty-bound to maintain, in the manner prescribed, a map and a field book for each village and any changes made in it have to be recorded annually or after such longer intervals as may be prescribed."If the facts of this case are examined, the issue regarding the correction of map stood settled between the parties when the appeal filed by the private respondents against the order passed by the Collector was dismissed on September 4, 2001. The maps were already final," the bench said.It said after the purchase of the land, an effort made by the private respondents to get the revenue map corrected had failed and they could not be permitted to raise the same issue after a gap of over 17 years.The bench said it was not a case where any error was found in the revenue record which deserved correction under Section 30 of the Code.While allowing the appeal, the bench set aside the order passed by the high court.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
