Petitioners herein, who are claimed to be the assignees, filed this Writ Petition, seeking writ of ‘Mandamus’ challenging the impugned order, dated 13-12-1993 cancelling their assignments inter alia, on the ground that they are trying to lease out their lands to others, after obtaining D form pattas. Further, they have also not cultivated the lands allotted to them. Therefore, they have violated the conditions of the allotment orders. After hearing the counsel for the petitioners and after perusing the entire material on record, and especially the impugned order, it is seen that the same is passed without any prior notice or conducting any enquiry in the presence of the petitioners. Though there are several petitioners, the respondents ought to have been granted individual different D-form pattas, to the petitioners and in spite of the same, no notice has been given, especially when such serious allegations said to be made against them in regard to the alleged attempt to alienate or lease out the lands. There is no force in the contention of the respondents that they given any opportunity to the parties concerned. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is allowed and the impugned orders passed in Rc.No.I.4521/93, dated 13-12-1993, are set aside. It is, however, open to the respondents to issue fresh notice to the petitioners and pass orders, after conducting enquiry. No costs.
