' This is a revision petition against the order, dated 5-3-1975 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Hyderabad whereby he rejected the appeal of the petitioner in respect of the directions of the Revenue Officer, Kotri Barrage, Hyderabad that the disputed land comprising of S. No, 565 and others of Deh Jharyoon, Taluka Mirpur Sakro be granted to the respondents after the ban on its permanent disposal is removed.
2. The facts of the case stand already mentioned in the impugned order and need not reproduced here.
3. Heard the petitioner's counsel and the respondents. The petitioner is aggrieved by the directions of the R.
0., Kotri Barrage that at the time of permanent disposal of the land under new land grant policy full rate offers in respect of the disputed land should be recorded as under :- Name of the respondent S. Nos. Reasons

2. Soomar 236 He holds Mohag right of B. No, 66 and is a small Khatedar.
3. Ali Muhammad 563 & 564 He is a small Khatedar owning share in S. No, 66.
' The counsel for the petitioner contends that the permanent disposal of the land would be governed by the provisions of the new land grant policy and the directions issued by the R.
0., Kotri Barrage were not in accordance with this policy and were not proper and he was not a party in these proceedings. The respondent contended that the R. O's. Directions were in accordance with the settlement between the respondents and the previous lessees.
4. I have considered the case. Disposal of the land is to be governed by the provisions of the New Land Grant Policy and those eligible under the policy would be entitled to grant of the land in accordance with the priorities fixed in the policy. The provisions of the land grant policy cannot be restricted to certain parties or be circumvented by them or by any authority on any such ground.
The respondents would be entitled to grant of the land only if their cases are covered by the provisions of new land grant policy and not otherwise. The directions of the R.
0., Kotri Barrage that the full rate offers of the respondents only should be recorded in respect of the land were premature and were uncalled for. In these circumstances, I uphold the reNision petition and direct that the permanent disposal of the land should be made in accordance with the provisions of the new land grant policy and instructions issued thereunder and the directions issued by the R.
0., Kotri Barrage in that regard earlier are hereby set aside.
