HORI LAL Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel as well as learned counsel for the caveators.

(2.) The proceedings arise out of a report filed by the Lekhpal under Section 186 of the U.P.Z.A.& L.R. Act, 1950 which reads as under:

(3.) The petitioners had been admittedly granted lease but the Lekhpal reported that after the said lease was granted in 1383 Fasli, the petitioners left the Village after four years and started living in Village Tumaria where also they obtained allotment of land. The report further recited that the procedure adopted for seeking allotment of land in another village disqualified the petitioners from retaining the allotted land and as a matter of fact they had abandoned their holdings at Saeedabad. The said report was entered and Tehsildar proceeded to pass an order on 27.2.2001. Accordingly, the name of the petitioners was directed to be expunged in exercise of powers under Section 186 of the Act.
