10. We have examined the orders, passed by the revenue authorities, perused the pleadings and are of the considered opinion that the impugned orders do not suffer from any illegality or perversity that would warrant the issuance of a writ under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The primary challenge to the proceedings for partition are based upon affidavits of the witnesses to the spot inspection, carried out by the Assistant Collector, 1st Grade and the Collector. In these affidavits, the deponents deny the factum of spot inspection. In our opinion, these affidavits are self serving documents, procured by the petitioner as a last resort to stall the partition proceedings. They were not filed before the revenue authorities and were obtained only after the revision petition was dismissed as withdrawn by the Financial Commissioner. Consequently, these affidavits do not merit consideration.
