No. 18698/2000 while maintaing tacit silence to the illegal constructions by unauthorized people is as illegal, improper, unjust, arbitrary, and against to the principles of natural justice Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.VENKATA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed by Weaker Section Welfare Society, EWS Colony, Bachupally Village. It is stated that the members of the petitioner – association were granted house site pattas over the government land in Bachupalli Village of Ranga Reddy District several years ago and possession of the plots were not delivered to them. Reference is made to an order passed in Writ Petition No. 18698 of 2000 as well as the letter dated 28-10-2006 addressed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ranga Reddy East Division to the District Collector, Ranga Reddy. The petitioner prays for a direction to the respondents to demarcate the land and deliver possession of the same to the beneficiaries. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It is no doubt true that in Writ Petition No. 18698 of 2000, this Court directed that the persons who have been granted house site pattas shall be put in possession as and when they approach the concerned authorities. Across the bar, the learned Government Pleader submits that in large number of cases, the pattas were found to be not genuine and in some other cases, the pattas were cancelled on finding that the persons are not eligible. Unless the persons who are granted pattas approach this Court individually, it would be difficult to grant relief at the instance of an association. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed with an observation that it shall be open to the persons who hold valid pattas in their favour as of now to seek redressal of their rights. L.
