He was a member of the noble Častolovice family and held high office in Bohemia.
In 1352, Emperor Charles IV appointed Půta to Burgrave of Potštejn.
From 1350 to 1369, Půta held Liebenau castle in Czarny Bór in the Wałbrzych mountains.
In 1387, Půta and Boček II of Poděbrady purchased the Lordship of Skuhrov nad Bělou and Rychmberk Castle in the foothills of the Orlické Mountains from the brothers Jan and Jaroslav of České Meziříčí.
In 1396, he transferred ownership of these possessions to his daughter-in-law; this suggests that he was the sole owner at that time.
