Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties.

¶39

In this writ petition, the petitioner is assailing the order dated 30.11.2016 in R.A.No.65/2013-14 (Annexure-Q) passed by the respondent No.1.

¶40

On careful consideration of the factual aspects on record that, the land in question was granted in favour of the petitioner, and thereafter, it came to be cancelled as per the order dated 28.02.1964 in L.N.D.2.R.10073/63-64. The said order of cancellation of grant has reached the

finality and the same has not been challenged by the petitioner herein.

¶45

In that view of the matter, I am of the view that as the grant made in favour of the petitioner has been cancelled earlier to the sale of the property on 29.11.1972, the finding recorded by the respondentauthority is just and proper and no interference is called for in this petition.

¶46

Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed .
