The proceedings under Section 178 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959 for partition of the agricultural holdings are pending before the
Tehsildar, Ramanujnagar, District Surajpur. The Tehsildar stayed the proceedings enabling the parties to prefer a suit because on an objection raised
by the petitioner, the Tehsildar observed that there exists dispute of title between the parties. It is this order which has eventually been vacated by the
Board of Revenue by its impugned order dated 03.04.2018 and thus the proceedings before the Tehsildar have been continued.
It appears, the petitioner is raising question of title before the Revenue Board, therefore, either of the party, including the petitioner, could have
preferred a suit seeking declaration of title to the extent of his share or exclusive ownership over the property.
Let the petitioner prefer a suit within a period of 3 months along with an application for grant of temporary injunction. For a period of 4 months from
today or till the petitioner's application under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 of CPC is taken up for consideration, whichever is earlier, the party shall maintain
status quo in respect of the suit property. This order of status quo shall lose its efficacy immediately after expiry of 4 months.
The writ petition stands disposed of.
