The instant petition is filed by inhabitants of village Kukroosa being respondent 5 in OWP 2137/2015. In the instant petition, the petitioners have sought a writ of Certiorari for quashing of order dated 8.2.2016 supra passed by the Divisional Commissioner whereunder while disposing of revision petition filed by the writ petitioner of OWP 2137/2015 supra, it came to be provided by the Divisional Commissioner that the present petitioners shall utilize land covered under khasra no. 1231 being a Khahchari land for the purposes of graveyard without interfering with the graveyard of the writ petitioners of OWP 2137/2015 covered under khasra no. 1092.

The facts stated in the instant petition, in view of the facts pleaded in the petition OWP 2137/2015 supra and noticed hereinabove, in order to avoid repetition and for the sake of brevity are not referred herein. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 11. The appearing counsel for the parties while making their respective submissions produced a copy of order dated 4.5.2016 passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, whereunder order dated 8.2.2016 impugned in OWP 334/2016 supra has been reviewed under Section 13 of the Land Revenue Act. The relevant extract of the order is referred hereunder: “Status quo ante as on 8.2.2016 shall be maintained by all the parties (petitioners as well as respondents) on spot and therefore additional land measuring 21 kanal, 01 marla under khasra no. 1231 situated at village Kukroosa recorded as Mahfooz Khahchari in revenue recods (Misili Haqiyat) RoR year 1959-60/Jamabandhi 1968-69 Girdawari year 2015 shall continue to be kept reserved for grazing purpose by entire village community of village Kukroosa, however both parties (petitioners as well as respondents) may utilize their respective graveyard as per past practice in vogue till verdict is delivered by the Hon’ble High Court of J&K”. It has been further provided in the order supra by the Divisional Commissioner in the interim in order “to maintain peace/tranquility in the area, I deem it appropriate to refer the matter to Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate, Kupwara, who shall resolve the matter amicably between the parties and maintain peace and public order. Superintendent of Police Handwara shall render all necessary support to District Magistrate Kupwara.” In view of aforesaid position, since order dated 8.2.2016 stands essentially recalled by the Divisional Commissioner, OWP 334/2016 has become infructuous to the said extent. 12. Reverting back to prayers made in OWP 2137/2015 supra and the rest of the prayers made in OWP 334/2016 supra, the petitioners of OWP 2137/2015 seek quashment of order dated 3.11.2015 issued by respondent Deputy Commissioner, whereas writ petitioners of OWP 334/2016 seek enforcement and implementation of said order dated 3.11.2015 issued by Deputy Commissioner. A bare perusal of order dated 3.11.2015 would reveal that the same pertains to the demarcation of land covered under khasra no. 1231 in village Kukroosa observing therein that the said patch of land belongs to the entire village and the inhabitants of the entire village are having equal rights over the said patch of land. As has been provided by the Divisional Commissioner in his review order dated 4.5.2016 supra, the land covered under survey no. 1231 measuring 21 kanal, 1 marla situated at village Kukroosa is recorded as Mahfooz Khahchari reserved for grazing purposes by entire village community of village Kukroosa. In this view of the matter the petitioners of both the petitions cannot said to be having any right recognized under law to use the said parcel of land as a graveyard more so in view of the law laid down by the Apex Court in case titled as “Jagpal Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others reported in 2011 (11) SCC 396 ”. 13. The petitioners of both the petitions are bound by the award passed by the Lok Adalat dated 14.3.2015 and the consequent demarcation undertaken thereof by the official respondents. The respondent Deputy Commissioner in view of aforesaid facts and circumstances is bound to ensure that the aforesaid Kahchari land covered under khasra no. 13. The petitioners of both the petitions are bound by the award passed by the Lok Adalat dated 14.3.2015 and the consequent demarcation undertaken thereof by the official respondents. The respondent Deputy Commissioner in view of aforesaid facts and circumstances is bound to ensure that the aforesaid Kahchari land covered under khasra no. 1231 is not used and utilized by the either of the petitioners of the writ petitions supra as a graveyard and also has to ensure that the demarcation undertaken by the revenue authorities pursuant to the award of the Lok Adalat supra dated 14.3.2015 of the land being used as graveyard by the parties is being followed and adhered to by the parties peacefully without any kind of violation. 14. For what has been observed, analyzed and considered hereinabove, the petitions shall stand disposed of, and interim directions, if any, passed by this court earlier shall stand vacated.
