HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14211 of 2010 Dated: 02-08-2010 Between: Rajiv Nagar Labour Welfare Housing Society, Rachakonda village of Nalgonda District, rep. by its President. … Petitioner And The District Collector, Nalgonda & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14211 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner, a welfare housing Society, seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in taking steps for dispossession of members of the petitioner-Society from the house sites allotted to them in Sy.No.273/1 of Rachakonda village of S.Narayanapuram Mandal in Nalgonda District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that members of the petitioner-Society were assigned house site pattas in Government land in Sy.No.273/1, admeasuring Ac.4.30 guntas, situated at Rachakonda village of S.Narayanpuram Mandal in Nalgonda District. It is stated that respondents have made the entire land into plots of 2 cents each, and accordingly, after considering the eligibility, plots were allotted to the members of the Society in file No.B/123/01, dated 25.07.2001. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though the members of the petitioner- Society are in possession of the plots allotted to them, respondents are trying to dispossess them from the same, without any valid reason, and also without giving any opportunity to them. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents that in the aforesaid land, 100 persons were granted pattas, but thereafter, there were complaints from certain persons to the effect that the house site pattas were given to ineligible persons and other than the villagers of Rachakonda, and they requested for cancellation of house site pattas. It is stated that an inquiry was conducted by A.R.I, Narayanpur and it was reported that only 7 persons are eligible out of 100 persons, to whom th e pattas were given, and that the remaining 93 are ineligible persons and are not residing in Rachakonda village. It is further submitted by the learned Government Pleader that steps are being taken to cancel the pattas granted to the ineligible persons, and no steps will be taken to dispossess the members of the petitioner-Society as otherwise than due process of law. It is further submitted that the petitioner-Society was registered only in the year 2010, whereas the allotments were made on individual applications made in the year 2001. As of now, the pattas granted to the members of the petitioner-Society are not cancelled, although it is stated that out of 100, only 7 are eligible persons and pattas were given to 93 ineligible persons and steps are being taken for cancellation of such allotment. As much as the pattas given to the members of petitioner-Society are in force as on today, and in view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader that the members of the petitioner-Society will not be dispossessed as otherwise than due process of law, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents not to dispossess the members of the petitioner-Society from the house sites allotted to them in Sy.No.273/1 of Rachakonda village, without following due process of law. However, it is made clear that if any ineligible persons have secured the house site pattas, this order will not preclude the respondents from taking steps for cancellation of such pattas, in accordance with law. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 2nd August 2010 ajr
