THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.235 OF 2006 DATED 06th JANUARY, 2006 BETWEEN K.Eswaramma … Petitioner and The Mandal Revenue Officer and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.235 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioner’s husband was assigned a house site admeasuring Acs.0.03 in Atmakur village. It appears the petitioner’s husband leased out the land to third respondent, but subsequently claimed possessory title. He filed the suit also which was decreed. However, E.P.No.156 of 1999 filed by him was dismissed on the ground that the transfer of assigned land is prohibited under the provisions of A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. Be that as it is, after the death of her husband, the petitioner returned to Atmakur and made an application to the first respondent requesting to resume the land from the third respondent and restore possession to her in accordance with sub-section (5) of Section 3 of the Act. First respondent initiated enquiry and issued a notice of enquiry on 21.02.2004 requiring the petitioner to appear for enquiry on 26.02.2004. The petitioner appeared before the first respondent and no action was taken so far. Hence, the writ petition. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this Court is of considered opinion that interest of justice would be served by directing the first respondent to dispose of the application made by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations, is disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 06.01.2006. pln
