(2.) SUBMISSION of learned counsel for petitioner is that petitioner is a social worker and elected councilor of Municipal Board, Neem Ka Thana. The allotment letter in question was in respect of land belonging to Deity, therefore, the same could not have been allotted or transferred. Therefore, the original allotment letter issued subsequently and also sale deeds be quashed and set aside.

Bakiwala vs. Jaipur Development Authority & Others,, 1993 (1) WLC 306, and Delhi Jal Board vs. National Campaign For Dignity & Rights of Sewerage & Allied Workers & others, : (2011) 8 SCC 568.

(3.) PURSUANT to the prayers made in the writ petition, it is clear that the Writ Petition has been preferred in the year 2013 to quash the allotment letter issued way back in the year 1988. Challenge has been made after 25 years. Although the petitioner has described Annexures 7 and 8 as allotment letter, but from perusal of Annexure 8 it is clear that it is a lease deed. So far as Annexure -7 is concerned, the same is appealable. The lease deed executed in the year 1988 has been challenged in the year 2013. So far as representation made by petitioner to the Collector, Annexure -1, is concerned, it does not give the date as to when it was made.
