A detailed counter affidavit is filed by the third respondent. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, reiterating the counter averments, submitted that during the course of inspection of vacant Government land, the office of the third respondent had furnished a list of vacant lands to be handed over to the Andhra Pradesh Housing Board for auction and due to inadvertence the land in question which was vacant on the ground, was also shown in the said list assuming it to be part of the land taken over by the third respondent under Section 10(6) of the U.L.C. Act from one T.K.Shiv Ram Singh, the declarant therein. However, on the objections raised by the third parties that the land in question is the subject matter of L.G.O.P. SR No.22219 of 2006 pending before the Special Tribunal, after due verification the mistake was rectified and the first respondent-Andhra Pradesh Housing Board authorities were requested not to conduct auction in respect of the land in question. It is further stated that no alienation proposals were submitted for allotting the land in question to the first respondent and that the land in question may be treated as not available for conducting auction by the first respondent. In view of that, no orders need be passed in this writ petition. Recording the said statement, the writ petition is closed at the stage of admission. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA, J.
