THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.3878 of 2007 22.3.2007 Between: Datharu Ramkishan Rao, S/o.Gopi Rao … Petitioner AND The District Collector, Warangal at Hanmakonda And others … Respondents THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.3878 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners and his two brothers, Laxmana Rao and Jagannath Rao, were landholders in an extent of Acs.322.37 guntas in survey No.62 situated at Konne village of Bachannapet Mandal in Warangal District. The second respondent appears to have issued ownership certificates to protected tenants under Section 38-E of Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 (the Act, for brevity). However the amount payable under subsection (2) of Section 38-E of the Act was not paid to the petitioners. The petitioners made number of representations to the authorities and ultimately second respondent by letter dated 20.2.2007 requested the third respondent to take necessary steps, in vain. Subsequent applications made by the petitioners to the respondents also did not yield any result. Therefore, they filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate orders. After getting instructions from the second respondent, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-T) submits that the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) has taken necessary action and issued notices on 21.3.2007 to the protected tenants/legal heirs of protected tenants to whom ownership certificates were issued and that necessary action would be taken. Therefore, in stead of keeping the matter pending, respondents 2 and 3 are directed to see that the protected tenants/legal heirs are paid the amounts as per Section 38-E (3) of the Act and make necessary arrangements for payment to the petitioner and his two brothers. This exercise may be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ March 22, 2007 (V.V.S.RAO, J) NOTE: Dispatch order copy by 29.3.2007. (By order) YS
