Aggrieved by the same, one of the petitioners in these writ petitions challenged the cancellation of free house site pattas before this Court in W.P.No.5116 of 2020 and it is pending.

If the petitioners succeed against the cancellation of their free house site pattas, they are at liberty to submit fresh applications to measure and demarcate their respective plots before the 4th respondent. On receipt of the same, the 4th respondent is directed to consider the same. No costs.
