Prakash Sarkar v. The State Of West Bengal And ORS

07.03.2022 d.p.

Calcutta High Court In the Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Appellate Jurisdiction W.P.A. 453 of 2022 (Via Video Conference) Prakash Sarkar -versus The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. S.M. Obaidullah, Ms. Ankita Dey.

...For the Petitioner.

Mr. Subir Kumar Saha, Ms. Bedashruti Bose.

...For the State.

Affidavit of service filed in Court today is retained with the records.

The petitioner's case is that his father was a land loser. Certain plots of land were acquired from his father in the Requisition Case No. 18/78-79. The father of the petitioner expired on 18th June, 2007. Presently, the petitioner wants his prayer for employment to be considered by the respondent authority.

It does not appear from the documents annexed to the writ petition that the petitioner was/is registered before the Employment Exchange under the land loser category. It also does not appear that the petitioner applied for employment under any scheme pursuant to which his application may be considered.

The land was acquired way back in 1978-79. The awardee has expired in the year 2007. In 2022, the prayer of the petitioner for employment under land

loser category, at such a belated stage, cannot be accepted by the Court.

Accordingly the prayer of the petitioner for consideration of his representation filed on 17th January, 2022 cannot be allowed.

The writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order be supplied to the parties, if applied for, upon completion of usual legal formalities.
