The possession order issued by the Deputy Collector Land Reform, Lohardaga vide letter dated 10.07.1995 which is not executed by 2026:JHHC:25042 2 the respondents. The petitioner filed a representation dated 16.04.2026 before Deputy Collector Land Reforms, Lohardaga for enforcement of possession order passed in S.A.R Case No.64 of 1993-94. Being aggrieved of the inaction on the part of respondents the petitioner filed this writ petition. 3. In the aforesaid fact, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a direction to the respondent authorities may be issued to forthwith effective delivery of possession of land in question. 4.

Considering what has been held above, the petitioner cannot get any relief in this application filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 6. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. 7. Petitioner, if so advice, may file an appropriate application before the Deputy Commissioner, Lohardaga along with a copy of this order for compliance of the order dated 14.03.1995 in S.A.R case No.64 of 1993-94.
