The petitioner claims to be member of Bethapudi Adi Andhra Cooperative Collective Farming Society, Bethapuri, Bapatla, Guntur district (for short referred as society). That the Government has assigned land to an extent of Ac.98.52 cents in survey Nos. 1342 to 1349, West Bapatla village, Bapatla mandal, Guntur district to the said society by orders dated 9.12.1931. Out of the said assigned land, by orders dated 9.11.1987 of the second respondent herein land to an extent of Ac.18.00 was taken over for construction of residential school for deaf with a promise to provide employment to the members of the society and allotment of alternative land. The grievance of the petitioner is that out of the said extent of Ac.18.00 allotted for construction of residential school for deaf, land to an extent of Ac.3.59 is remained unutilized and though several representations including representations dated 1.3.07 and 18.2.08 were made for restoration of the said land, till date no action is taken and the respondents are trying to allot the said land to private parties for construction of Tsunami houses. Hence, the present writ petition. When the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the respondents may be directed to consider the representations of the petitioner dated 1.3.2007 and 18.2.2008 and pass appropriate orders. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue agreed for the same. Having regard to the agreed stand taken by both the counsel, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to consider the representations of the petitioner dated 1.3.07 and 18.2.08 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. _____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 28.4.2008 TVK .....
