JUDGMENT Abhinava Upadhya, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has come to this Court with a grievance that an order under Section 33/39 of the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950 has been passed expunging the name of the petitioner from the revenue records and directing the Gaon Sabha's name to be mutated in the revenue records in place of the petitioner. 2. According to the report Khata No. 1503, gata no.2894/9/0.300 and 2894/13/1.254 hectare has been claimed as petitioner's bhumidhari and to prove such fact has also filed Khatauni No.1359 fasli and 1362 fasli and it is submitted that since then the petitioner's name has continued in the revenue records, but by the impugned order it has been held that the land in question is recorded as "Drain" and therefore, a public utility land under Section 132 which was recorded as such before 1359 fasli and the petitioner by playing fraud got his name entered on the land which was covered under Section 132. 3. I have considered the submission of the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the orders impugned. 4. It is recited in the order that the petitioner has committed fraud and, therefore, no opportunity is required to be given. The fact remains that the petitioner's name continued in the revenue records right from 1359 fasli and once his name is expunged he should be given one opportunity of being heard. 5. Accordingly, I am of the view that it would be appropriate to direct the respondent no.2 to give one opportunity to the petitioner to explain his conduct with regard to the entries of the aforesaid khatas which the authorities claim to be a land covered under Section 132 and then pass appropriate orders. As the matter is remanded back to the respondent no.2 before whom the petitioner shall appear without any fresh notice to be issued in that behalf within 15 days by furnishing his objection and the same shall be considered and thereafter an order be passed in accordance with law. Since the matter has been remanded back for reconsideration after giving opportunity to the petitioner, orders impugned cannot be sustained and are hereby quashed subject to the direction aforesaid. 6. The writ petition is allowed at this stage.
