2/2 6- 10 wp 4247-26.doc P.C:- 1.

Though by order dated 06/04/2026, we directed the learned AGP to seek instructions, since the Petitioner placed reliance upon the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Dr. Arjun Sitaram Nitanwar Vs. Tahsildar, District Thane and ors, covering the mutation entry no. 616, and by holding that the procedure prescribed in declaring the land to be private forest is not followed, the entries qua the land of the Petitioners from the mutation entry no. 616 were set aside.

Since the learned AGP seeks some more time, we direct this Petition to be listed on 28/04/2026 on Supplementary Board. (MANJUSHA DESHPANDE, J.) (BHARATI DANGRE, J.) Ashish
