HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19889 of 2010 Dated: 20-08-2010 Between: M/s.Babu Enterprises, Nellore, rep. by its Proprietor. … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19889 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the action of respondents in not acceding to his request to survey and fix the boundaries for the land to an extent of Ac.8.00 cents, covered by Survey Nos.244 and 55/4B, situated at Rajupalem in Laxmipuram Grampanchyat limits of Cheemakurthy Mandal in Prakasam District. It is the case of the petitioner that an extent of land admeasuring Ac.39.56 cents, covered by Survey Nos.244 and 55/4B of Rajupalem in Laxmipuram Grampanchyaat limits, is held by its original owners, who have given it on lease to one V.Venkateshwarlu for a period of 25 years commencing from 25th of September 1992. Out of the said land, the petitioner was given Ac.8.00 cents on sub- lease. The petitioner has filed an application by paying necessary fee on 16th January 2010, to the respondents, to survey and demarcate the land covered by the lease in his favour. It is the grievance of the petitioner that inspite of such an application, no steps are being taken by the respondents. Under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923, when an application is made as early as on 16th January 2010 along with necessary Challan, there is no reason for keeping the same pending for such a long time. In view of pendency of application filed by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.3 to consider the application filed by the petitioner on 16th January 2010 for survey and fixation of boundaries of the land covered by the lease in his favour, and take appropriate decision as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th August 2010 ajr
