HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE CHHATTISGARH' BILASPUR // 53 ORAL ORDER {Passed on 18'" July,2006) Xdmobt Admittedly, the petitioner has been in unauthorized occupation of the subject land. in this writ petition, he is seeking a direction to the respondents to stop construction on the subject land. Such a prayer is made on the ground that the petitioner has made an appiication to the Collector, Mahasamund for grant of patta with regard to the subject land and since that application is pending consideration, the petitioner is entitled to the direction sought in para 7.1 of the writ petition. Merely, because, the petitioner has made an application to the Collector, Mahasamund district for grant of patta with regard to the land comprised in Khasra No, 136/1, that fact itself would not vest any enforceable legal right in the petitioner over the subject land. The writ petition is misconceived and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. Sdl‘ Chief Justice
