THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14211 of 1994 ORDER: 1 In this Writ Petition, the petitioner has questioned the orders issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.Noo.543, Revenue (Endowments-IV) Department, dated 18.06.1993. By the aforesaid order, the Government has granted permission to the third respondent-temple for sale of its land admeasuring Ac.5-91 cents covered by Sy.No.1210/A and Ac.2-64 cents covered by Sy.No.1210/B of Ramachandrapuram village, Butchireddypalem Mandal, Nellore District for the purpose of house sites to weaker sections of the society. 2 Petitioner claiming to be the tenant of the lands in question filed this Writ Petition and obtained interim orders and continued in possession of the said lands. 3 When the matter is taken up, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that the proposals for acquisition of the aforesaid lands were dropped and the said lands are not required for sale for the purpose of providing house sites now. 4 The orders issued by the Government are permitting the respondent – temple to sell away the lands in question for the purpose of providing house sites to the weaker sections and now it is stated that the said lands are not required. So the very purpose for which the orders issued by the Government are not in existence as on today. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition placing on record the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader. 5 Accordingly, placing on record the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader that the lands in question are not required for the purpose of providing house sites to the weaker sections of the society, presently, this Writ Petition is disposed of. However, it is made clear that as there is no valid lease in favour of the petitioner, this will not preclude the respondents to take steps to auction the said lands in accordance with law. No costs. -------------------------- R.Subhash Reddy, J. 22.12.2011 Kvsn
