This is an appeal against the order passed by the learned single Judge in Writ Petition No.28795 of 1998. Almost 20 years before, the land of the petitioner/appellant was acquired. According to him, this land has not been utilized so far, therefore he wants re- conveyance of the land. The learned single Judge relied on various judgments of the Supreme Court, particularly on Chandragauda Ramgonda Patil V. State of Maharashtra and came to the conclusion that since the land had been transferred to the Government without any encumbrances, therefore it could not be re-conveyed. We do not find any ground to interfere in the order of the learned Single Judge. Appeal is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ BILAL NAZKI, HACJ 4th April 2005. _____________________ Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU, J ajr .....
