It is her case that originally her husband occupied the said land and as he was a landless poor person, the government assigned the said land to him. Subsequently, the 4th respondent took the said land on lease from her husband and continued in possession of the said land even after the lapse of the lease and in the meantime her husband died. Thereafter, pattadar passbooks and title deeds in respect of the said land were issued in her favour after her husband’s death. But however, since the 4th respondent is claiming to have purchased the said land and that the pattadar pass books were issued in his wife’s favour who is the 5th respondent herein the petitioner made a representation to the 2nd respondent on 6.11.2004 by making a copy thereof to the 3rd respondent to restore the land, in vein. Hence this writ petition. Though sufficient time was granted to the learned Government Pleader to get instructions, the learned Government Pleader reported no instructions. Therefore, since the petitioner has already made a representation to the 3rd respondent, instead of keeping the matter pending, I think it appropriate to dispose of the same with appropriate directions to the authorities. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider and dispose of the representation dated 6.11.2004 of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. It is also made clear that while considering the representation of the petitioner, if necessary, the 3rd respondent may issue notice to the unofficial respondents also if he intends to pass any orders against them.
