4. Thereafter, the petitioner requested the Junior Engineer and Clerk of the Office of the Awas Vikas Parishad to hand over physical possession of the land to the petitioner. Physical possession, however, was not handed over despite the petitioner handing over the original receipts of all the deposits made by him to the Junior Engineer and Clerk in the Office of the Awas Vikas Parishad. The petitioner was engaged in his employment for the past several years. He, thereafter, wrote a letter to the Respondents for delivery of physical possession of the platform allotted to him but the Respondent no.5 has informed him that the File relating to the allotment is missing and untraceable and as and when the Record of the said property shall be found they will proceed further.
