THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1740 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners claim that their ancestors held vast extents of land in Pamidipadu Agraharam, Narasaraopet Mandal, Guntur District as inam. Their grievance is that though the land is covered by the A.P. (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956 (for short ‘the Act’), neither their ancestors nor themselves were conferred any benefit under the Act. The petitioners claim to have made repeated representations to the Tahsildar, Narasaraopet Mandal, 5th respondent herein and complain that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. The claim made by the petitioners is general and vague. Reference is made to an agraharam, without mentioning the extent or the survey numbers. Further, the Act prescribes different procedures as regards conferment of benefits on the inamdars on the one hand and the persons in occupation of the land on the other hand. In addition to that, a series of remedies are provided. Unless an application in accordance with law is presented before the prescribed authority, no relief can be granted to anyone. Even now, the petitioners can present the application before the prescribed authority mentioning the relevant particulars. The delay in the presentation of application can also be explained, if there exist valid reasons. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners to present application in the stipulated form before the authority prescribed under the Act and the Rules made thereunder. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 02.02.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1740 of 2010 Date: 02.02.2010 JSU
