The grievance of the petitioner is that he belongs to Backward Class Community and he is a landless poor person having ten children and other family members. He was in possession and enjoyment of the land in the above said premises for more than thirty five years. He made several representations for grant of D.K.T.patta to the above said land and one of them is the representation dated 07.04.2004, the subject matter of this Writ Petition. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dismiss the Writ Petition, as the petitioner did not file any material to establish that he is in possession of the said property for more than thirty five years. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ (ELIPE DHARMA RAO, J) 23rd June 2005 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copy To: 1.
