THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26683 of 2010 Dated 27th October, 2010 Between: Guthikonda Rajesham and another …Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by Secretary, Chittoor and another …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Mr. M.V. Venu Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not disposing of the petitioners’ applications dated 02.08.2010 and 23.08.210 for allotment of house sites in terms of G.O.Ms.No.185 dated 11.03.1997 (wrongly mentioned as G.O.Ms.No.155 in the writ petition and the affidavit) as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioners claimed to be political sufferers having participated in the liberation of Hyderabad State from Nizam Governemnt. They have pleaded that the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.185 dad 11.03.1997 providing for house sites not exceeding 300 sq. yards. They claimed to have made applications on 02.08.2010 and 23.08.2010 for sanction of house sites and their grievance is that so far their applications have not been disposed of. In my opinion, the petitioners, who slept over their rights for nearly 13 years, suddenly woke up and filed their applications in August, 2010. Even before expiry of two months from making the said applications, they have approached this Court for a Mandamus. The petitioners, who are not deligent in availing their right, cannot be permitted to file a writ petition without giving reasonable time to the respondents to consider their applications. Therefore, in my opinion, the Writ Petition is too premature and the same is accordingly dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to avail the appropriate remedy if the respondents do not act on their applications within a reasonable time. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.34054 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 27th October, 2010 GHN
