The petitioner prays for setting-aside order dated 3.3.2011 passed by respondent No.1, impugning the order passed by the Financial Commissioner upholding his eviction from the demised property as ordered. The allotment made in favour of the petitioner being a landless tenant was cancelled, when it was noticed that not only his wife but his father owned some land and so he could not be treated as landless for the purpose of allotment. This allotment was also challenged and cancellation thereof, which was ordered, had attained CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.12129 OF 2011 :{ 2 }: finality. After hearing the counsel and on his request, the case was adjourned on 14.7.2011 to enable the counsel to file an affidavit, giving undertaking to vacate the premises to hand over the vacant possession within a time bound period.

Status quo in regard to possession.” Pursuant to the above order, the petitioner has now filed an affidavit, undertaking to hand over the vacant possession of the land to the concerned authority on or before 30.4.2012 and has also undertaken not to create any hindrance thereof.
