THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.17725 of 2011 Between: T. Venkata Ramanaiah PETITIONER And 1. The Govt. A.P. rep. by its, Principal Secretary, Revenue Endowments Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and others. RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner Sri Raja Reddy Koneti Counsel for the respondents 1 to 4: G.P. for Endowments Counsel for the respondent No.5: Sri V.T.M. Prasad Court made the following ORDER: In view of the short relief sought for at the hearing, this writ petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission with the consent of both the learned counsel. Even though the petitioner has challenged the proposed auction of leasehold rights in respect of the lands belonging to the temple, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner does not wish to press for the said relief. It is submitted that the petitioner is the Archaka of the temple. The temple is endowed with land admeasuring an extent of Ac.29.41 cents. The petitioner states that the income of the temple is below Rs.2,00,000/- and he is entitled to be appointed as single trustee, as per the policy of the State Government. He therefore submitted a representation dated 21.04.2011 to the 2nd respondent-Commissioner Endowments Department. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though considerable time has elapsed eversince the representation has been made, the 2nd respondent has not considered the same. It is therefore submitted that the 2nd respondent be directed to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders within a time frame. Even though several contentions have been raised as to the entitlement of the petitioner be appointed as a single trustee, the same cannot be gone into in view of the fact that the representation of the petitioner is admittedly pending consideration. Having regard to the short relief presented during the course of hearing, I deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to file a fresh representation to the 2nd respondent-Commissioner of Endowments and the 2nd respondent is directed to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the representation from the petitioner. Since the challenge to the auction is not pressed, the interim order of this Court dated 27.06.2011 stands vacated. With the above direction the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 14th October, 2011. Js.
