C.J.’s Courts Civil Writ Petition No. 912 (M/B) of 2001 Soorat Singh ….. Petitioner V/s State of Uttaranchal and others ……. Respondents Hon. A.A. Desai, C.J. Hon. Irshad Hussain, J. Sri Mahendra Singh Pal appearing for the petitioner precisely canvassed a grievance that the land for which the lease was grated has been A forest land and as such lease is unauthorized. We issued notices. We have heard learned C.S.C. as well as Sri B.P. Nautiyal, learned counsel for the lease holder-respondent no. 5. Learned C.S.C. made a categorical statement before us after due verification that the land in question is not forest land but the same is revenue land. In view of this statement, the grievance does not subsist. We, therefore, dispose of this petition. Consequently, the interim order dated 5.2.2001 is hereby vacated. (A.A. Desai, C.J.)
