Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.K.K.CHAKRAVARTHY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioners claim to be in possession of certain extent of land in survey Nos.67/10 and 68/1 of Marriproluvari Palem in Bapatla Mandal, Guntur District. It is stated that the said land was earmarked for use by Rajaka community, during the British Government. Reference is made to a suit filed, in the context of enjoyment of the land, as well as the award passed by the Lok Adalat in A.S.No.54 of 2001. The petitioners state that on a representation made by the 4th respondent, the 1st respondent issued notice, dated 06.03.2007, and that the petitioner had submitted explanation also on 25.05.2007. The grievance of the petitioners is that on account of non-finalization, they are unable to effectively enjoy the property, including alienation thereof. The 3rd respondent filed a counter-affidavit stating, inter alia, that he is prepared to register the document, if the matter is clear by the 1st respondent. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Even according to the petitioners, the land was assigned by the Government for the use by Rajakas. The question as to whether the award passed by the Lok Adalat in A.S.No.54 of 2001, would confer exclusive rights upon them, needs to be examined. The 1st respondent has already taken up the matter for enquiry, on a representation made by the 4th respondent. Finalization of the enquiry would put an end to the uncertainty and it will be in the interests of all that the enquiry is completed at an early date. The Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to conclude the enquiry initiated through notice, dated 06.03.2007, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, duly issuing notice to the affected parties. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated:28.01.2009. GJ
