Respondents ----------- 03- 17.3.2009 Heard Mr. Bhola Prasad for the petitioner, and Mr. R C Thakur, learned standing Counsel no.IV (Ceiling). The petitioner raises a grievance before this Court that he had donated 4.30 acres of land to the Religious Trust in question and parchas are being issued. 2. On a perusal of the materials on record and consideration of the submissions of learned counsel for the parties, it appears that the issue relating to the petitioner’s donation to the Religious Trust was considered by the authorities under the Land Ceiling Act whereafter the requisite notification in terms of Section 15(1) of the Act has been issued in accordance with law. It is thus evident that it is open to the respondent authorities to distribute parchas with respect to the surplus land. No ground for interference with the impugned action is made out. 3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl - 2 -
