IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 1102 (M/S) of 2008 Smt. Munni Rawat. …..…Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others. …………Respondents. Hon’ble Alok Singh, J. Heard Mr. Jitendra Chaudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. R.C. Arya, learned Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand/ respondents. By way of present writ petition, petitioner is assailing the order passed by Collector, Garhwal dated 19.01.2006 by which learned Collector cancelled his earlier order whereby Collector has directed to grant patta/lease of the nazul land in favour of the petitioner for construction of residence. Mr. Jitendra Chaudhary appearing for the petitioner very fairly stated that till date no patta / lease deed is executed in favour of the petitioner. Admittedly prior to the present proposal another peace of land was also proposed to be allotted in favour of the petitioner which was also cancelled after finding some irregularities. Present writ petition was filed on 05.07.2008 while the impugned order is of dated 19.01.2006, petitioner has not explained latches / undue delay of more than two and half years in filing the writ petition. On this ground alone writ petition is liable to be dismissed. 2 However, the proposal to grant patta / lease of nazul land in favour of the petitioner does not create any right in favour of the petitioner until and unless lease deed, in fact, is executed in his favour. Petitioner at the most can be called as prospective allottee, hence, has no right to enforce over the land proposed to be allotted in his favour. On this ground also present writ petition is not maintainable. For the foregoing reasons, writ petition is dismissed summarily. No order as to costs. (Alok Singh, J.) 28.10.2009 SKS
