THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.31604 of 2010 Date: 22.12.2010 Between: Peddinti Lakshmi and another. … Petitioners And The Commissioner, HRA Act, Tilak Road, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.31604 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners claiming to be the shareholders of inam lands of Sri Kesava Swamy Temple and Gopala Swamy Temple of Manepalli village, Gannavaram Mandal, East Godavari District, have filed this writ petition seeking a direction to respondents 1 to 3 to initiate proceedings under Section 83 to 86 of the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 against respondent Nos.4, 7 and 8 in respect of the temple lands and hand over possession of the same to the petitioners. 2. The petitioners claim that Sri Kesava Swamy Temple and Gopala Swamy Temple are endowed with an extent of Acs.6-36 cents of land covered by patta No.359 in R.S.No.481 of Manepalli village and the said lands are inam lands meant for the enjoyment of hereditary Archakas and their successors in office. The petitioners claim to be the successors of the original hereditary Archaka and claim a share in the said lands. As respondent Nos.4, 7 and 8 are denying the rights of the petitioners, the petitioners have filed a representation, dated 21.6.2010, before the 3rd respondent-Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, East Godavari District, Rajahmundry for appropriate action. As the 3rd respondent has not taken any action on the said representation, the petitioners have filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate relief. 3. The short grievance presented on behalf of the petitioners during the hearing is that there is no justification for the 3rd respondent to keep without decision the representation dated 21.6.2010. 4. Earlier, when the matter came up for hearing, this Court directed the learned Government Pleader for Endowments to get instructions in the matter. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the petitioners, in fact, have made such representation and the 3rd respondent is taking steps to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. 5. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider the representation, dated 21.6.2010, of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, after due notice to all the parties concerned, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The 3rd respondent is also directed to communicate the decision taken to the petitioners and the respective parties concerned. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 22.12.2010. Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.31604 of 2010 22.12.2010 (Msr)
