“ 4. I submit that this writ petition is filed for Mandamus directing the respondent to restore the Bhoodan properties by cancelling all the encumbrance over the Bhoodan properties and to allot the land to the real beneficiaries by considering petitioner's representation dated 02.11.2020 alleging that the Bhoodan Yagna Movement was started by the Acharya Vinoba Bhave who under took Pathayatra to several districts in Tamil Nadu on 13.03.1956 and on 18.04.1957 and received lands for the purpose of donating the same to the Bhoodan Yagna movement. In order to regulate such lands received as donation to transfer the name of the Bhoodan Board and to distribute the lands to the landless poor Tamil Nadu Bhoodan Yagna Act, 1958 was enacted and rules were framed there under. That Bhoodan movement was launched with the object of accepting the lands donated by the philanthropists and landlords. To that effect the Bhoodan Yagna Act was enacted in the year 1958, that the administration was maintained by the Sarvodhaya Panchayat in the State of Tamil Nadu, that the donated lands were distributed to the real beneficiaries based on their annual income which should not exceed of Rs.300/- initially, now raised as Rs.25,000/- as per the Bhoodan Yagna Act and prayed this honourable Court to direct the respondent to restore the Bhoodan lands by cancelling all the encumbrances.
