It is stated by the petitioner that two and half decades back, the Government of Andhra Pradesh got constructed a colony namely G.S.R.T.Colony for industrial workers at 6th Lane of Vallurivari Thota, Guntur. In the said colony there are twelve buildings consisting of forty eight portions and one building consisting of two portions and in total there are fifty quarters. Out of fifty quarters, twenty four are up- stairs’ portions. The petitioner is one of the allottee of one portion in up-stairs bearing quarter number No.39. He stated that he paid the total cost of upstairs portion, but in spite of payment of the cost of the quarter, it was not registered. Similarly, the other allottees of the quarters paid the entire cost, but the respondents have not taken any action to register the quarters in their favour. It is stated that meanwhile the ground-floor allottees have been made certain constructions without leaving even parking area to the allottees of the upstairs portions. Therefore, the petitioners have made a representation dated 16.10.1999 before the respondents 2 to 4 requesting them to take appropriate steps. But the respective Officers did not take any steps. In view of the facts and circumstances, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 2nd respondent to take appropriate action on the said applications. Accordingly, the 2nd respondent is hereby directed to consider and dispose of the representations dated 16.10.1999 and 15.2.2004 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within eight weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of this Order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ---------------------------- V. ESWARAIAH, J 7th March 2005. BCS Assistant Registrar // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
