Boggulakunta, Tilak Road, Hyd. 2 The Administrative Officer, Sri Swamy Hathiramji Math, Tirupathi, Chittoor District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Appellant: MR.T.BALAJI Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court made the following : ORAL JUDGMENT (Per Hon’ble the Chief Justice) Petitioner’s claim for allotment of land on the basis that he was a landless poor agriculturist was negatived by the learned single Judge on the ground that by order dated 10th September, 1997 the Deputy Commissioner held the petitioner/appellant as an encroacher and ordered his eviction. Learned single Judge also noticed the fact that the petitioner’s father was a tenant but he ceased to be tenant. Subsequently the petitioner/appellant appears to have encroached upon the land. Criminal Case was also launched against him. He was never an authorised tenant. Under these circumstances, merely the Criminal Case has been ended in acquittal, it will not entitle the petitioner/appellant to claim any right for being allotted any land under Section 82 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable & Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 2002. We find no merit in the appeal. Accordingly it is dismissed. No costs. _______________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. _________________ C.V. RAMULU, J.
