For the Petitioner: MRS.MADHAVI KAMBHAMPATI, Advocate. For the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and with their consent the writ petition itself is disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner filed this writ petition on an apprehension that the respondents are going to assign an extent of Ac.0-13 cents of Donka Poramboke situated in Survey No.96 of Perala village, Chirala Municipality, Prakasam District to landless poor without following the Rules governing such assignment. His grievance is that though he made a representation dated 02-12-2004 to respondent Nos.1 and 3 for assignment of the said land in his favour, the same has not been considered so far. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner is seeking assignment of the land and the representation stated to have been made by him on 02-12-2004 is pending before respondent Nos.1 and 3, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with an observation that in case the respondents intend to grant any assignment in respect of the land in question, they may consider the said representation of petitioner, before such assignment. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. ______________ N.V.
