CORAM

: ANIL S. KILOR and RAJNISH R. VYAS, JJ.

DATE : 20/11/2025 1.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

2.

According to him, in the 7/12 extract, an entry has been made by the revenue authorities stating that the land is the subject matter of proceedings initiated under the provisions of the Maharashtra Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974. He further states that, in the proceedings preferred before the revenue authorities, it has now been clarified that the concerned person does not belong to the Scheduled Tribe category. He, therefore, requests this Court to direct the respondents to act upon an application that he proposes to file for deletion of the said entry in the 7/12 extract. 3.

Since the learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that an appeal has already been preferred against the order, the appropriate orders can be passed by the appellate authority. However, the application for deletion of the entry can still be considered by the rkn

4.

In view of the above, we permit the petitioner to file an application for deletion of the entry, which shall be decided by the authorities within eight weeks thereafter.

5.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. ( RAJNISH R. VYAS, J.) (ANIL S. KILOR, J.) rkn
