Learned counsel for the petitioner therefore submits that direction be issued to the respondent- Authority to allot the said 5 guntas of land. However, on a query by this Court, learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to point out any constitutional or legal rights in favour of the petitioner for allotment of the said land. Therefore, mandamus cannot be issued for mere asking for convenience in the absence of party establishing his statutory and constitutional rights and breach thereof by the Authority. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. 7. Notwithstanding the dismissal, it is open to the petitioner to approach the respondent-Authority, who may consider his request if he otherwise satisfies the eligibility criteria for allotment of land.
