1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 8268/2009 Satbeer Vs. Brij Mohan & Ors. Date of Order :: 05.07.2010 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. I.R. Choudhary, for the petitioner/s. By this petition for writ a challenge is given to the order dated 10.6.2008 passed by the Addl. Collector, Nohar in revision petition No.4/2008, affirming the order passed by the Panchayat Samiti on 11.3.2008. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the appellate authority as well as the revisional court failed to appreciate that the land in question was allotted in the year 1991 and the appeal was preferred in the year 2007 i.e. after a lapse of about 16 years. I have considered the arguments advanced and also examined the record available. From perusal of the impugned order itself it is apparent that no record relating to the allotment of land to the petitioner was at all available either with the Panchayat or even with the petitioner. It is also apparent that in family of the petitioner number of Pattas were given at same point of time, including for the land, that was otherwise used for public purposes. In such 2 circumstances, illegality in allotment of land in question is apparent. The appellate authority as well as the revisional authority while cancelling the Patta also considered the fact that at the relevant time age of the petitioner would have been about 2 years and such grant of Patta was apparently erroneous. The Patta was issued in favour of the petitioner on 25.1.1991, and as per the affidavit submitted by the petitioner in support of the petition for writ he is presently of 21 years approximately. It is really strange that how a piece of land was allotted to him when he was only of about 2 years. The entire issue, as a matter of fact, requires administrative probe relating to the apparent manipulations taken place. Accordingly, this petition for writ is dismissed with a direction to the Collector, Hanumangarh to initiate appropriate proceedings in the mater and book the persons responsible for playing fraud with the office concern and public property. A certified copy of this order be sent to Collector, Hanumangarh immediately. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
