Certain objections under section 9-A(2) of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act) filed by the respondents were initially allowed and were incorporated on an application under Rule 109 of the U.P.

The Consolidation Officer held that the application of the petitioner under Rule 109 of the Rules shall be considered alongwith the objections under section 9-A(2) of the Act. The revision filed by the petitioner has been dismissed. In the opinion of the Court, the orders being interlocutory in nature, the petition would also be liable to be dismissed. 7. The apprehension of the petitioner is that in the meantime the respondents taking advantage of the incorporation of their names on the basis of the ex parte order which has already been set aside, may either alienate the land in dispute or cut away the trees and remove the other movables from the land in dispute. 8.
