Petitioners And The District Collector, Visakhapatnam District and others. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.18022 of 2007 Oral Order: The petitioners are residents of Adigarlapalem Village, Thutipala Panchayat, Makavarapalem Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. They state that they are small farmers and are in possession of dry agricultural land in various extents where they raised casuarina cultivation. They approached the third respondent seeking D-Form Pattas in respect of the said land in their possession. They allege that due to pressure brought on them by political leaders, the respondents are trying to evict them without considering their representation for assignment of the land. In this writ petition, they seek such a direction. The petitioners have placed before this Court material, which prima facie show their possession of the land in Survey Nos.500. 501 and 502 (various sub divisions). Therefore, the third respondent may consider the representation made by the petitioners. If the petitioners have not specifically approached the third respondent, they are given liberty to approach the third respondent. Be it noted that while considering their application for assignment, the third respondent has to take into consideration the question whether the petitioners are landless and also poor. Only in such an event, the petitioners are eligible for assignment. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is disposed of. __________​_____ V.V.S.RAO,J Dated 28.8.2007 Note: Dispatch the order Within one week. B/o msv
