THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.21410 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the respondents in seeking to dispossess him from the agricultural land situated in Survey Nos.115/2 and 98/2 at Kanchikacherla Village and Mandal, Krishna District. It is the case of the petitioner that he was granted lease for cultivating the aforementioned land for the year 2007-08 and he has also paid the lease amount to the first respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the petitioner has paid the entire lease amount, he was not permitted to cultivate the land, and that in fact, lease was given in favour of the third respondent by private negotiations and he is cultivating the land. He further submits that as the petitioner has been precluded from cultivating the land, a direction be issued to the respondents to return the lease amount deposited by him. Learned Government Pleader for Endowments submits that in case the petitioner is entitled to refund of the lease amount, the same will be returned to him forthwith. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, it is clear that the petitioner was not permitted to cultivate the land, which was leased out to him for the year 2007-08, despite having paid the lease amount. In this view of the matter, the petitioner may file an appropriate representation before the first respondent for refund of the lease amount deposited by him. On such representation being filed, the first respondent shall dispose of the application filed by the petitioner expeditiously, preferably, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of such representation. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of in terms of the aforementioned directions. No costs. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 06.12.2010 va
