The Government after acquiring the land in Sy.Nos.881, 882 and 883 of B.Kothakota Village for the purpose of weaker section housing under Social Welfare Land Acquisition Programme, allotted a house-site patta to an extent of Ac.0.02 cents in Plot No.525 to the petitioner. As per the conditions of the assignment, the petitioner has to construct a house within one year from the date of allotment. On violating the said condition, patta granted in favour of the petitioner was cancelled and the said house-site was allotted to the 5th respondent. On coming to know of the cancellation, petitioner preferred an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer-third respondent herein contending that the cancellation of the assignment was without issuing notice to him. On dismissal of the appeal, petitioner carried the matter in revision before the second respondent, which was also dismissed by the impugned proceedings, dated 11.1.1999 confirming the dismissal of the appeal by the third respondent. Questioning the same, the present writ petition has been filed contending that the cancellation of the assignment made in favour of the petitioner is without notice to him and therefore, the same is in violation of principles of natural justice. It is contended that the petitioner had already obtained sanction for construction of a residential house in the said plot from the Gram Panchayat of B.Kothakota on 26.9.1998 and pursuant to the said sanction, he had also constructed a house and residing therein.
