Present: Mr. Tapan Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Beena Pande, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttar Pradesh. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) 1. Heard Mr. Tapan Singh, Advocate for the petitioner and Ms. Beena Pande, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttar Pradesh. 2. The petitioner has filed this writ petition claiming appointment in Government Service as the land of his grand-father was acquired by the State in the year 1984- 85. The petitioner has referred to certain Government Orders, mainly Government Order dated 21.12.1981 passed by the erstwhile State of U.P. First of all, there is no provision under the Land Acquisition Act, which entitles a person for appointment in Government Service, in case his land has been acquired by the State. Moreover, the Government Order which the petitioner has preferred only states that the person would be provided a particular kind of service, where there is salary of ` 500/- or less and this will be applicable to the persons, whose lands have been acquired. This Government Order does not help the petitioner as the land, acquired belonged to his grand father. Moreover, even otherwise there is no merit in the petition and the same is hereby dismissed. 3. No order as to costs. 4. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 14.2.2011 Rathour
