Now the petitioner is claiming appointment in pursuance to the Government Order issued by the State of U.P. on 29th February, 1996. The G.O. is in respect of those persons, who have been displaced by way of acquiring their land for any project. This is not the case of acquisition of land. The petitioner’s father donated some land. The G.O. is not applicable on the petitioner nor the petitioner is entitled to get any relief under this Government Order. The writ petition is devoid of merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. All the pending applications stand disposed of. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 10.08.2007 VKS
