2.1 It appears that in the aforesaid partition proceedings, the Mode of Partition was approved, pursuant to which a Naksha Bey was prepared by the field staff. Upon receipt of the Naksha Bey on the case file, objections thereto were called from the parties, whereupon the petitioners submitted their objections. It transpires that the learned Assistant Collector, 2nd Grade, Bahadurgarh, vide order dated 10.02.2025 (Annexure P-7), accepted some of the objections raised by the petitioners, while rejecting others, and consequently a revised Naksha Bey was called from the field staff.

Both the parties have admitted that their signatures are on the Panchayati Compromise dated 17.05.2024.

Therefore, in view of the above description and discussion, the appeal is liable to be accepted, thus same is hereby accepted and the case is remanded to the Assistant Collector First Grade, Bahadurgarh with the direction that after hearing the objections of the appellants, the partition proceedings should be carried out by preparing a revised amended Naksha Bay according to the rules, keeping in mind the possession and the Panchayati decision dated 17.05.2024. Both parties are directed to appear before the Court of Assistant Collector First Grade, Bahadurgarh on 16.04.2025 for further proceedings.
