The petitioner alleges that he has been in possession from the year 2000 and cultivating the said land and admittedly the said land is a poramboke land. The petitioner also claims that he has dug a bore well and he is also paying cist to the Government, the receipts of which are produced as material papers in this writ petition. Alleging that his case is not being considered for assignment of the land along with other eligible assignees, the present writ petition is filed. I have heard the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, who fairly submits that the application of the petitioner is on records, as alleged, and pending, and that the respondents would have no difficulty in considering the same as per its eligibility and in accordance with law. This writ petition is, therefore, disposed of with the following direction. The respondents are directed to consider the application of the petitioner said to have been filed with regard to assignment of Ac.4-90 cents of land in Survey No.949/2 B1, of Padamatipalem village, Sangam Mandal, Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
