THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3044 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is a Co-operative Housing Society. It purchased the land in survey No.83 of Rayadurg Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, for the benefit of its members. However, the said land was the subject matter of proceedings under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (for short ‘the Act’). On noticing that the land stood vested in the Government by virtue of notifications under different provisions of the Act, the petitioner submitted an application, dated 02.09.2008, with a request to extend the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.136, dated 28.01.1981. Its grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for respondents. The Act has since been repealed. The question as to whether the petitioner can be extended the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.136, dated 28.01.1981, needs to be examined. In case the petitioners are entitled for the benefit, necessary orders need to be passed. On the other hand, if the request of the petitioner cannot be acceded to, the reasons therefor need to be communicated to the petitioner. Early action is warranted, in view of the repeal of the Act itself. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 02.09.2008, submitted by the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall be given an opportunity of being heard, before the final orders are passed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated:17.02.2009 GJ
