Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on the basis of notification dated 26.10.2019, the petitioner who is an illegal occupant of a Najul land has made an application for allotment of the sale land on the basis of the State Government's regularization scheme in which he has been directed to pay a sum of Rs. 3,06,157/- for allotment of the land in which he is in 3 possession as an illegal occupant. The petitioner failed to deposit the said amount, as such the allotment order cannot be passed. He next submits that the petitioner has only paid a sum of Rs. 1 lakh and rest of the amount has not been paid within the time frame. He further submits that the present writ petition has been preferred seeking a direction to the respondent authorities to permit the petitioner to deposit the remaining amount of Rs. 2,06,157/- and to consider passing the final allotment order in terms of the order dated 28.02.2023, in accordance with law. 3. Learned State counsel submits that the notifications dated 11.09.2019 and 26.10.2019, under which the petitioner seeks allotment of the subject land, has already been withdrawn by the State Government vide circular dated 23.07.2024. Consequently, the relief sought by the petitioner cannot now be granted under the withdrawn policy. It is, however, fairly submitted that the petitioner had deposited a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- pursuant to the order passed by the concerned Collector, but such deposit, by itself, does not confer any vested right upon the petitioner to claim allotment under a policy which is no longer in force. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. From the perusal of the record it appears that since the scheme itself was withdrawn vide order dated 23.07.2024, which is reproduced herein as under:- 4 “ छत्तीसगढ़ शारान राजस्व एवं आपदा प्रबंधन विवभाग मंत्रालय महानदी भवन, नवा रायपुर, अटलनगर E-mail-revenue.cga.gov.in, दूरभाष 0 0771-2510994 कमाक/एफ-4-14/सात-1/2024 नवा रायपुर. विदनांक/07/2024 प्रतित, 1 समस्त आयुक्त छत्तीसगढ़ 2 समस्त कलेक्टर छत्तीसगढ़ विवषय :- नगरीय क्षेत्रों में शासकीय भूविम के आबटन / व्यवस्थापन / फीहोल्ड के सबंध में जारी परिरपत्रों / विनद3शो को विनरस्त करने बाबत् । सदभ6:- इस विवभाग के परिरपत्र कमाक एफ-4-07/सात-1/2019 विदनांक 11.09.2019. 26.10.2019, 20.05.2020 एवं 24.02.2022 ------------- सन्दर्भिभत पत्रों का कृ पया अवलोकन करें। 2. इस विवभाग द्वारा जारी परिरपत्र कमांक एफ-4-07/सात-1/2019 विदनांक 11.09. 2019. 26.10.2019, 20.05.2020 एवं 24.02.2022 जिजसमें नगरीय क्षेत्रों में शासकीय भूविम के आबटन, अतितक्रविमत भूविम के व्यवस्थापन एवं भूविमरवामी हक प्रदान करने संबंधी विनद3श / परिरपत्रो जारी विकया गया है। 3. राज्य शासन, एतद्वारा, नगरीय क्षेत्रों में शासकीय भूविम के आबंटन, अतितक्रविमत भूविम के व्यवस्थापन एवं भूविमस्वामी हक प्रदान करने संबंधी पूव6 में जारी संदर्भिभत विनद3श/ परिरपत्रों को विनरस्त करता है। 4. सभी जिजला कलेक्टर को विनद3शिशत विकया जाता है विक उपरोक्त परिरपत्रों/ आदेशों के अतग6त आबंविटत / व्यस्थाविपत / फ्रीहोल्ड की गई भूविम की जानकारी संलग्न प्रपत्र में जिजला के वेबसाईट पर प्रदर्भिशत करें, एवं विवभागीय वेबसाईट पर प्रदर्भिशत करने हेतु जानकारी की सॉफ्टकापी (Excel) एवं जिजला कलेक्टर द्वारा हस्ताक्षरिरत प्रतित (PDF) विवभागीय ई- मेल पर तत्काल प्रेविषत करें। भूविम के आबंटन / व्यवस्थापन / फीहोल्ड के विवषय में कोई आपत्तित्त / शिशकायत प्राप्त होने पर संभागीय आयुक्त द्वारा सुनवाई की जा सके गा। सलग्न प्रपत्र 1,2,3 SD/- ( अविवनाश चम्पावत) सतिचव छत्तीसगढ़ शासन राजस्व एवं आपदा प्रबंधन विवभाग 5 6. It is evident that the petitioner has paid a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- as installment and the petitioner was directed to deposit entire amount of Rs. 3,06,157/- along with premium amount, the petitioner could not deposit and during the pendency of the aforesaid situation, subsequent notifications were issued, as such the relief claimed by the petitioner for allotment of the land cannot be passed. Since the allotment order was subject to conditions which has not been fulfilled, as such the petitioner could not be granted relief as prayed. However, since the petitioner deposited a sum of Rs 1,00,000/- before the concerned authority, as such the authorities concerned are directed to refund the same amount along with the interest of 6% per annum from the date of deposit till the date of actual payment. It is further observed that the petitioner shall be at liberty to avail such remedy as may be available to him under the law by filing appropriate application before the competent authority in accordance with law. 7. With this observation, the petition stands dismissed with the aforesaid liberty. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge U.K. Raju
