Act 3rd of 1947 for eviction of he Sri Ram Chandra Gupta alleging that he was in illegal occupation of the accommodation. While the applications was pending, U. P. Act No. XLII of 1972 came into force Objections were filed on behalf of petitioner No. 2. the deity in whom the property vests. Another objection was filed by Smt. Annapurna Devi, one of the sarvarakars of the Deity. The Rent Control and Eviction Officer cancelled the allotment order on the reasoning that since Smt.

On this finding alone, the petitioner has no case. the proceeding initiated. by the allottee was for eviction of the unauthorised occupant. Since the case set up by petitioner no.
