JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing
counsel for the respondents.
(2.) LAND Management Committee Sauthena, Tehsil and Pargana Bharthana, District Etawah resolved to allot different parcels of
its land to about 60 persons including the petitioner on
27.8.2004. Petitioner was allotted part of plot no.1086. (learned counsel for the petitioner states that the date of resolution has
wrongly been mentioned as 27.8.1994 in para 3 of the writ
petition). S.D.O. Bharthana through order dated 8.4.2005
approved the entire resolution. However, one Sri Pravin Sadan
who was ex member of parliament made a complaint that the
portion which had been allotted to the petitioner was not vacant.
The name of the petitioner was at serial no.50 in the allotment resolution. On the said complaint the S.D.O. withdrew the
approval through order dated 9.5.2005 only in respect of
petitioner and one more allottee. Prior to that report of the Naib
Tehsildar had been obtained which is dated 7.5.2005 and copy of
the same is Annexure I. Naib Tehsildar only mentioned that the
portion allotted to the petitioner was not vacant. In the impugned
order dated 9.5.2005 the only ground mentioned for
withdrawing/reviewing the approval is that the plot was not
vacant. One more reason which is given is that Sri Pravin Sadan
Ex-MP would also feel satisfied and would not have any
grievance. Even this much is not mentioned either in the report
of Naib Tehsildar or the order dated 9.5.2005 that who was in
illegal occupation of the part of the plot which was allotted to
the petitioner.
(3.) IF some one was in illegal occupation, the unauthorised occupant should have been dispossessed in stead of
withdrawing the approval. Against the order dated 9.5.2005
petitioner filed revision no.129 of 2005 which was dismissed on
24.5.2006 by Additional Commissioner Kanpur Division Kanpur. The Additional Commissioner also held that the order
challenged before him was not judicial order.;
