THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.26932 of 2006 Dated: 27.12.2006 Between: Kandimalla Harinadha Babuand another. ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Prakasam District and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.26932 of 2006 ORDER: The two petitioners claim to be the owners of land admeasuring Acs.20.19 cents in survey Nos.233 to 241 situated at Kondayapalem, Hamlet of Ballikurava Village and Mandal in Prakasad District. They claim to have succeeded to the property from their ancestors. It appears that there is granite to an extent of Ac.0.16 cents in survey No.234. On an application made by respondent No.4 for grant of quarry lease over an extent of one hectare in survey Nos.230/B(part), 230/C5 and 234, respondent No.3, namely, the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) conducted enquiry and issued ‘No Objection Certificate’ by letter dated 18.08.2006 in favour of respondent No.4. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners statedly preferred a revision petition before respondent No.1, namely, the District Collector. They also sought for stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the letter of MRO dated 18.08.2006. It is their grievance that respondent No.1 did not pass any orders on the stay petition or in the main revision petition. In this writ petition, they seek appropriate direction to respondent No.1. There is no dispute that yet now the matter is still pending before respondent No.1. Therefore, it would be in the interests of the petitioners as well as respondent No.4 to dispose of the revision petition. Accordingly there shall be a direction to respondent No.1 to pass orders on the revision petition submitted by the petitioners against the orders of MRO in R.Dis.170/2006 dated 18.08.2006 within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations and direction, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 27th December, 2006 Note: Issue CC by 28.12.2006 B/o ghn
