Lease of Government Land

Petitioner challenged the vires of order passed by Member Colonies, Board of Revenue Punjab whereby his request for restoration of allotment/conveyance deed was declined

Validity

Petitioner had started his demand for purchase of just 5½ kanals of State land in his own Chak, which afterwards increased to 31½ kanals and lastly to 57½ kanals in another revenue estate

Most valuable chunk of land facing the Highway was thrown away to him just for peanuts

Petitioner had sought lease of the land but the Secretary Finance, who had no business with the private project, proposed permanent transfer of the State land so that a blue-eyed could be accommodated over and above his own request

Execution of conveyance deed for agricultural purposes was another violation towards the alleged specific sale for construction of a purported Hospital

Petitioner who had voluntarily undertook twice to complete the project i.e. construction of a hospital within extended time of his own choice had failed to install even a brick

Constitutional petition was dismissed, in circumstances.

Irregularity in grant of-Effect. Held, that some slight irregularity in the grant of lease of Government land, as, for instance, that the tender forms submitted had not been purchased in the name of the tenderer, does not in law entitle the objecting party to ask for interference with the tenancy arrangements made at the spot by the Collector, especially when such arrangements had taken the form of an open auction.
