THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.12722 OF 2007 DATED 31st JULY, 2007 BETWEEN: K.Ramadevi and others. … Petitioners AND The District Collector, Ongole, Prakasam District and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.12722 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioners herein are residents of Mangamuru Village of Santanutalapadu Mandal in Prakasam District. They seek a direction to respondents to consider their representations, dated 02.04.2007 and 21.05.2007 and take necessary action for assigning land in favour of landless poor persons. It is the case of the petitioners that the land in survey Nos.4/2, 4/4, 4/6, 223/10 to 223/12, 11/15, 231/1B, 1/16, 11/17, 11/18, 11/2, 10/2 to 10/5, 11/6, 231/1A, 231/1B, 10/7, 10/8 and 3 of Mangamuru Village was assigned to landless poor persons, who are not eligible for assignment. These assignees allegedly transferred or alienated the land to real estate businessmen. Having come to know, the petitioners made representations for cancellation of assignment and assignment of land to them in vain. Therefore, they filed the instant writ petition. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) submits that necessary action is already initiated on the representations of petitioners. He further submits that wherever assigned land is transferred in favour of third parties, the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) has already issued notices in Form I and II under Rule 3 of A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007 and the matter is pending with the MRO. In view of this, petitioners may approach the third respondent, who is directed to pass appropriate orders on the representations made by petitioners. The case of the petitioners for assignment of suitable agricultural land may be considered after disposal of the cases initiated against the purchasers under A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 31.07.2007. pln
