(2.) WE have heard Mr. S.A.Qureshi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Shah, learned AGP appearing for the respondents.
(3.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner has urged that other persons have been regranted the land and survey no. 751 to 755 was ordered to be given to the agriculturist in the year 1991 by the Government. Initially, it was decided by the Government to regrant the land of the petitioner but subsequently this view was changed by the Government as the land was acquired by the Gujarat Housing Board for the construction of affordable housing scheme. Though earlier the Housing Board has passed resolution on 31/5/1991 that there is no requirement of houses and therefore, they do not acquire the land as communicated by the Housing Board on 17/5/1991 to the Urban Land and Urban Development Department but the subsequently in the year 2010, the Housing Board wrote a letter on 16/3/2010 annexureK to the writ petition that they acquired land for the construction of affordable houses, therefore, the land cannot be regranted to the petitioner.
