P. C. :
1. The petitioner seeks to challenge the order passed by the Divisional Joint Commissioner in Revision Application No.193 of 2021 in respect of land with which the Petitioner has no connection and claims that by virtue of Public Interest Litigation filed by him, the said land was declared to be the property of the State. If that be so, it is so far the State Government to adopt appropriate steps to protect the property by challenging the order. However, the Petitioner insists that as per doctrine of Escheat, the land vests in the State and therefore he has the locus to challenge the order passed by the Divisional Collector in respect of the property of the State.
