ABHINAVA UPADHYA

JUDGMENT Abhinava Upadhya, J. Proceedings under Section 198 (4) of the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950 were initiated for cancellation of patta on the ground that the patta was wrongly granted as the land in question is a public utility land so it has been recorded in the revenue records. The said order was passed in 2011, against which the petitioner filed a revision which was dismissed in 2012. Now, in 2016, this writ petition has been filed. 2. No reason has been shown for such a delay. The petitioner's patta stood cancelled in 2011. No relief can be granted at this belated stage. Even otherwise, if the petitioner has a title or right over the land in question, the remedy of the petitioner is to file a suit and get his rights declared. The writ petition is not the remedy. 3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
