Petitioner And The District Collector, Anantapur and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.9229 of 2000 ORDER: The petitioner is an association in Anantapur Town. The persons belonging to weaker sections without shelter are its members. They admittedly encroached the Government land comprised in Survey Nos.154/1, 154/3A, 154/3B, 154/4, 154/5 and 193 situated at Rachanpally Village in Anantapur Town in April, 1999. They submitted applications to respondent Nos.1 to 3 for grant of house site pattas, which are pending. It is alleged that respondent Nos.4 to 9 objected for the occupation of the land stating that in 1986 the Government assigned land to them. It is also alleged that respondent No.9 already sold the land for a sum of Rs.25,000/-. It is further alleged that respondent Nos.4 to 9, with the help of local leaders, are trying to dispossess the members of the petitioner - Association. When no action was taken against them, they filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a direction to cancel the D- Form pattas granted in favour of respondent Nos.4 to 9 comprised in the above said survey numbers and for grant of house site pattas. Respondent Nos.1 to 3 have not filed counter affidavit even after lapse of 14 years. Admittedly, respondent Nos.4 to 9 were granted pattas on 03.11.1986. Curiously, in the year 2000, the petitioner - Association sought a direction to cancel those pattas. Consequently, as seen from the Court proceedings, the Writ Petition stands dismissed against respondent Nos.4 to 9 for default on 21.09.2004. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order passed by this Court. If so aggrieved, the aggrieved members of the petitioner - Association (not the petitioner itself) may obtain copies of pattas against respondent Nos.4 to 9 and file appeals to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, who shall consider the appeals subject to the law of limitation. The Writ Petition, with the above observation, is dismissed. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 01.07.2010 KH
