It is stated that the Government issued D-form patta to the father of the petitioner for an extent of Ac.4.00 cents in S.No.2084/1 and 2084/2 in Kothur village and they have been cultivating the same. It is further submitted that the petitioner occupied land of an extent of 200 Ankanams in Grama Nattam in S.No.2082 of Kothur village and raised two thatched houses and residing there. It is further stated that on 12.12.2004 the 2nd respondent without following due procedure, forcibly removed the said two thatched houses, and being aggrieved by the action of the 2nd respondent, the petitioner made a representation to the 1st respondent on 13.12.2004 and is pending without passing appropriate orders. Hence the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Admittedly, the representation of the petitioner dated 13.12.2004 is pending consideration before the 1st respondent and appropriate orders have to be passed thereon in accordance with law. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 13.12.2004 and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, within a period of 8 (eight) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. Dated: 13.06.2005 Dsr ASSISTANT REGISTRAR To: 1. The District Collector, Nellore District, Nellore 2.
