He allegedly retired from Indian Army as GNR/Naik with X-No.1276024 in the year 1983. It appears, the petitioner’s father and other family members were in possession of agriculture land admeasuring Acs.5-10 comprised in Survey No.102/1 of Hakeempet village, Hyderabad Distsrict, since long. When the petitioner sought for assignment of the said land, according to him, the duly constituted Committee recommended his name for assignment. While it was so, it is alleged, second respondent inspected the land with a view to declare the same as a Government land. Apprehending dispossession, the petitioner filed the present writ petition praying for a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to assign the land in Survey No.102/1 in his favour. A counter affidavit is filed. The allegation that the petitioner is an Ex-serviceman is not specifically denied. However, the Government has assigned the land in Survey No.102/1 to Jubilee Hills Cooperative Society. In that view of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the right of the petitioner for assignment as Ex-serviceman, third respondent herein is directed to consider the case of the petitioner for assignment of suitable land under relevant Government orders. The petitioner may approach the District Collector with proper representation within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, there shall be status quo with regard to possession of the land. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is disposed of. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.RAO, J.)
