WP(C) 5023/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Kataki, learned counsel petitioners as well as Mrs. Phukan, le arned State counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 5. The petitioners by the present petition are praying for a direction to t he respondent authorities not to evict them from the land measuring 2 kathas 10 lechas covered by Dag No.100 of Punjabari, Bathaguli village under Beltola Mouza contending inter alia that they are possessing the said land since 1994 by cons tructing dwelling houses therein. A submission was also made on the earlier occa sion that the land is covered by an annual patta, pursuant to which this Court v ide order dated 26.09.2011 directed the learned counsel for the petitioners to a pprise this Court about the annual patta number. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, however, on instructi on has submitted that the annual patta has not been issued in respect of the sai d land except the receipt for realization of Tozibahi revenue collected by the a uthority for occupation of the said land. Admittedly the land is Government land and the Tozibahi revenue has been realized from them, which is nothing but the fine for unauthorisedly occupying the Government land. That apart the petitioner s could not produce any proof to demonstrate that they have been authorized to o ccupy the said land. That being the position, the prayer made in the present wri t petition cannot be allowed. It would, however, not preclude the petitioners from making any applicat ion for allotment/settlement of the land, if so advised, and in the event such a pplication is made, necessary order shall be passed in view of the provisions of Assam Land and Revenue Regulation, 1886 and the land policy of the Government. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
