CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.
DATE : 17.01.2026
PER COURT :
1. Heard learned Counsel for the respective parties.
2. By way of the present petition, the petitioner assails the or der
dated 20.01.2020 passed by the learned Member, Maharashtra Revenue
Tribunal, Aurangabad, in Case No.23/B/2019/L, whereby the learned
Tribunal remanded the matter for fresh consideration to the Distri ct
Collector, Latur.
3. The record reveals that the Tribunal allowed the revision mai nly on
the ground that the order dated 04.01.2018 passed by the Tahsi ldar,
which was based upon the earlier order dated 12.02.1958 passed by the
2026:BHC-AUG:2055-DB
2 1009 WP 2738-2021.odt
Collector, Osmanabad, was neither available nor placed on record before
the Collector while deciding the proceedings.
4. Upon perusal of the impugned order and considering the
submissions advanced, it is evident that the Tribunal has merely
remanded the matter for adjudication after taking into consideration that
the order dated 12.02.1958, which was not available at the t ime when
the Collector passed the order dated 04.01.2018. Now that the said order
is available and is directed the matter to be considered afresh, therefore, I
do not find any reason to interfere with the order dated 20.01 .2020
passed by the learned Member, Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal,
Aurangabad, in Case No.23/B/2019/L, under Article 227 of the
Constitution of India.
5. The District Collector, Latur, shall decide all the issues raised by the
parties independently and in accordance with law including the
authentication of the order dated 12.02.1958, without being influenced
by any observations made in earlier proceedings.
6. The Writ Petition stands disposed of in above terms.
7. Insofar as the interim order is concerned, learned Senior Counsel
Mr. P.R. Katneshwarkar submits that respondent Nos.8 and 9 have
purchased the property under a registered sale deed dated 23.06.2024.
Earlier, this Court had directed the revenue authorities not to ef fect

mutation entry. In view of the subsequent registered sale deed, it is
clarified that if any mutation entry is effected pursuant thereto, the same
shall remain subject to the final outcome of the proceedings pending
before the District Collector.
8. It is open for the petitioner to challenge the registered sale deed by
initiating appropriate proceedings in accordance with law.
