HtGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR WRIT PETITION (U/A 227) No.579812009 ( 2 W.P.(U/A 227) No.5798/2009 Heard on admission. Being aggrieved with the order dated 24.12.2008 (Annexure P/1) passed by the Commissioner, Raipur Division, Raipur, order dated 21.05.2008 (Annexure P/2) passed by the Upper Coilector, Durg and order dated 12.1 1 .2007 (Annexure P/3) passed by the Sub Divisional Office (Revenue), Durg, petitioner Babu Bhai has filed this writ petition. it appears that the petitioner has filed an application for grant of lease of the Government land for Ratanjot plantation. The matter was processed by the Tehsildar and ultimately, the Sub Divisional Officer passed the order dated 12.11.2007, dismissing the application of the petitioner. This order was challenged in appeal before the Upper Collector. The appeal was dismissed and thereafter, a proceeding was filed before the Commissioner and the same was also dismissed. The Commissioner observed that for the said purpose, the patta of the land can only be granted to a Government Organization, therefore, the Revenue Authorities were right in dismissing the application filed by the petitioner. l have heard learned counsel for the parties at length. Admittedly, in exercise of the powers conferred in Section 181 read with Section 258 of Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959, the State Government has made the Rules known as Lease (Government Land for Ratanjot/Karanj Plantation and Bio—diesel Based Processing Unit) Rules, 2006. in these Rules, rule 4 reia‘tes to grant of lease, which‘is quoted as under: “4. Grant of Lease-(1) State Government may grant a lease of waste land to a Government Organization for , Ratanjot/Karanj plantation and establishment and running of Bio-diesei based processing unit. . (2) Waste land required for the use of the concerned viiiage shall not be given on iease under these rules.” 3 'W.P.{UIA 227i No.5798/2009 ,. The word ‘Govemment Organization’ as mentioned in ruke 4 has been defined in definition clause, which means Government Undertakings of Government of Chhattisgarh such as CREDA, Forest Deveiopment Corporation, Agricuiiure Development Corporation,-eto. Admittedly, the petitioner has prayed for grant of patra in his private capacity for the said purpose, which cannot be granted to him in view of the above provisions of the rule. Accordingly, the application of the petitioner was rightly dismissed by the Revenue Authorities. ’ i do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned orders passed by the Revenue Authorities. The petition has not merit. The same is liable to be dismissed and is accordingiy dismissed at the motion stage itseif. No cost. fwf 5d]- and Seed Sunil Kumar Sinha Judge shyna f
