THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4513 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner purchased an extent of Ac.0.12½ guntas of land in Survey No.175 of Rekurthi Village, Karimnagar District, in the year 2004. The land was resumed to Government, obviously by initiating proceedings under the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’), on the ground that the petitioner purchased the assigned land. This Writ Petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in resuming the land without paying compensation or giving alternative land. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Even according to the petitioner, the land, said to have been purchased by him, was resumed to the Government, on the ground that it was assigned to a landless poor, and it was transferred in favour of the petitioner, in violation of the conditions of assignment. The petitioner did not even make any reference to the proceedings that were initiated under the Act. At that stage, he has chosen to challenge the same. It is only when the proceedings of this nature are challenged, that an occasion would arise to examine whether the case of the petitioner can be fitted into any of the exceptions. No endeavour was made in this direction. For all practical purposes, the petitioner is reconciled to the resumption and his effort is only to seek compensation or grant of alternative land. The Act provides for neither of them. As a matter of fact, the original assignee himself is not entitled for compensation or alternative land, in case it was resumed, on the ground that it was transferred contrary to the provisions of the Act. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dated:05.03.2009 GJ
