It is further stated that srnce the date of purchase of the plot, the petitioner is in peac.eful possession and enjo.yment of the same. It is further stated that the Government has introduced Rules, 2O2O uide G.O.Ms.No. l3l (Department of Municipal Administration & Urban Developmcnt), dated 3l.Og.2O2O, for regularization of plots in unauthorizcd layouts on payment of regularization charges and rn terms of the said GO and the Rules, 2O2O, thepetrtioner has submitted an application uide No.M / MANC / OOO2!4 / 2020, dated 10.09.2020, on the file of respondent No.7. enclosing all requisite documents in support of his continuous possession and enjoymcnt of the subject plot. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the petitioner has complied with all the requrrements of the said Rules, 2O2O, the respondent authorities have not processed the application of the petitioner till date citing that the subject rand is government land and is under prohibited list. Hence the present writ petitio n. 4, Learned Assistant Government pleader for Revenue has submitted that the petitioner has made an application dated - 3 CVBR, J Wp 10601_2025 I I lO.O9.2O2O as per G.O.Ms.No. 131, dated 31.08.2020.
