CORAM : PRAFULLA S. KHUBALKAR , J .
DATE : 13-01-2026.
Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Counsel for the respondents.
2.
The petitioner has challenged order dated 15-09-2025 passed by respondent no.1/Sub-Divisional Officer, Yavatmal, rejecting the application for production of two documents.
3.
Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have initiated proceedings under Section 107 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands (Vidarbha Region) Act, 1958, seeking quashment of order passed by the tenancy Tahsildar dated 18-03-2025. In the proceedings the respondents have appeared and they have filed preliminary objection to the maintainability of the application. It is pointed out that the petitioners/applicants in the said proceedings tried to file on record two documents both dated 18-09-1965 which are in the nature of orders passed by the President, Lands Tribunal/Additional Tahsildar, Yavatmal about dropping of the tenancy proceedings with respect to the suit property. It is pointed out that these two documents are

4.
Learned counsel for the respondents fairly submit that the production of two documents could be allowed, however, the contentions with respect to the said two documents could be made subject matter of adjudication before the authority.
5.
Having regard to this limited controversy, the petition needs to be disposed of by directing the respondent no.1 to allow the petitioners/applicants to place on record the two documents both dated 18-09-1965. After the documents are produced, the respondents are entitled to make their respective submissions with respect to the said documents. In view of this, writ petition is disposed of. 6.
Having regard to the fact that the parties are litigating since 1976 and the parties are of advanced age, the respondent no.1 is directed to expeditiously decide the proceedings and preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. (Prafulla S. Khubalkar , J.
