On instructions, the learned Government Pleader submits that as per chessala village records of Koheda, the land in Sy.No.167 admeasuring Ac.530.25 guntas is classiﬁed as Gairansarkari. The petitioner was granted assignment patta under eksal cultivation in the past to carryout agricultural operations as a social security measure with a condition that the assignment will automatically cease after expiry of one year from the date of allotment.

Housing Board towards construction of weaker section houses under Rajiv Gruhakalpa and physical possession was also handed over. In view of the above submissions that the petitioner has no right over the subject matter of land and that the same is a government land, the relief sought for by the petitioner cannot be granted.
