3. All these writ petitions concern the lands which are subject matter of proceedings in LCC No.1517 & 1518/KVR/75, against which appeals are pending before Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal. Writ petitioners essentially claim to be landowners and whereas the respondents opposing them assert their rights as tenants with reference to the earlier litigation, which ended in their favour and got sealed by virtue of judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court.
4. Since the substantial proceedings by way of appeal are pending before Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal and in view of the dismissal of Writ Appeal No.241 of 2024 by us today vide separate order, petitioners are relegated to appellate authority with liberty to raise all the issues even those that are sought to be canvassed in these writ petitions for proper adjudication.
5. Aforesaid course of action is suggested in view of the order passed in Writ Petition No.5458 of 2024, dated 05.03.2024 by learned Single Judge.
