Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.V.BHANU PRASAD Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CEILING The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 8363 of 2008 Order: The petitioner, who is a member of the 2nd respondent- Ayodhyanagar Mutually Aided Cooperative Housing Society Limited, was allotted Plot No. 186, admeasuring 251 Sq. Mtrs., situated in Survey Nos. 297/1, 297/2/1 and 298/1 of Gudimalkapur village, Asifnagar Mandal, Hyderabad District. The petitioner states that based on G.O. Ms. No. 552, dated 30.04.2005, issued by the Government, the 2nd respondent-Society, vide circular dated 16.06.2005, called for applications from its members for regularization of the plots allotted to them, and since the 2nd respondent-Society instead of addressing the said circular to her Vijayawada address addressed the same to Hyderabad address, she could not make an application to the authorities concerned for regularization of her plot in time. Now the case of the petitioner is that subsequently she made a representation dated 28.11.2006 to the 1st respondent, namely the Special Officer, Urban Land Ceiling, Nampally, Hyderabad, along with Demand Draft for Rs.25,100/- towards regularization fee, requesting him to regularize her land in terms of G.O. Ms. No. 552, dated 30.04.2005, but so far no action thereon had been taken by the 1st respondent. Hence, she filed the present writ petition. The contention of the petitioner is that since there is delay in communication by the 2nd respondent-Society, she could not submit her application within the time prescribed by the 2nd respondent-Society for regularization of her land, and since there is no cut off date fixed by the Government for submission of applications for regularization in the said G.O., the 1st respondent is bound to consider her application and regularize her land. However, since the representation dated 28.11.2006 of the petitioner, seeking regularization of her land in question, is said to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent, both the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Urban Land Ceiling appearing on behalf of the 1st respondent agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent, namely the Special Officer, Urban Land Ceiling, Nampally, Hyderabad, is directed to consider and dispose of the representation dated 28.11.2006 of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 17.04.2008 Ksr/Nsr
