For the Petitioners: MR.P.VENUGOPAL, Advocate For the Respondents.: GP FOR FISHERIES The Court Made the Following : W.P.No.13784 of 1993 ORDER: Heard both sides. The petitioners claim in this writ petition is against the action of the respondents who are trying to deprive the rights of the petitioners over the land in question in S.No.372 of Kalipatnam village of Mogathur Mandal, West Godavari district. The main grievance of the petitioners is that, though they have filed application before second respondent herein, seeking pattas to be granted in their favour, the same are still pending. Having regard to the same, it is not necessary to go into merits of the case. More so, the interim orders already granted in favour of the petitioners are in force. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the petitioners case for grant of pattas as per their applications and pass orders according to Law, after giving notice to the petitioners.
