HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.11450 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner questions the action of the respondents in conducting public auction of the leasehold rights of agricultural land, admeasuring Ac.3.64 cents in R.S.Nos.75 and 76 of Teeparru Village, Peravali Mandal, West Godavari District, on 21.05.2010. It is the case of the petitioner that his father was a tenant earlier; after his father’s death he has been continuing as a tenant; he paid makta of Rs.25,900/- on 10.01.2010; and the third respondent, without issuing a notice under Rule 5 of the Rules notified in G.O.Ms.No.379, had issued a public advertisement for conducting auction of the leasehold rights of the land in question on 21.05.2010. The petitioner sought stay of the auction proceedings by way of the present writ petition. When the Writ Petition was listed on 19.05.2010 this Court merely directed that the matter be adjourned after Summer Vacation, 2010. In the absence of any order from this Court, the respondents were not precluded from holding the auction on 21.05.2010. Sri V.T.M.Prasad, Learned Standing Counsel for the third respondent-temple, would submit that the auction was indeed held on 21.05.2010. Since the auction has already been held, I see no reason to now interdict the auction proceedings. Suffice to observe that the petitioner is entitled to avail any other remedy available to him in law questioning the action of the respondents in conducting the auction. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:31.05.2010 usd
