No. 21/4 totaling to Ac.3.97 cents of Gondolu village, Addateegala Mandal in East Godavari District and he has been in possession and enjoyment of the said land and it devolved upon him through his father who purchased the same on 22.5.1950. It is his grievance that the respondents 3 and 4 filed a LTRP No. 60/90 against him before the 2nd respondent for his eviction from the said land on the ground that there was a prohibited transfer and ordered for his eviction. On appeal, the 1st respondent also confirmed the orders of the 2nd respondent. However, today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks leave of this Court to withdraw the writ petition since an alternative remedy is available to the petitioner to represent the matter before the Secretary for Tribal Welfare Department as per Section 6 of The A.P Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Rules 1/59. Therefore, having regard to the above submission, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is dismissed, as withdrawn, giving liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy available to him, as per Rules. No costs.
