THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21730 OF 2002 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the proceedings of the first respondent dated 20.09.2000 as illegal, arbitrary and against the interest of the villagers of Damagatla Village, Nandikotkur Mandal, Kurnool District. The petitioner is a resident of Damagatla Village. It is his case that the first respondent had granted a house site patta in favour of the third respondent; the land allotted to the third respondent was in the centre of the village surrounded by a well, a water tank, a road and a house of a neighbour; if the third respondent were to construct a house in the said land, it would not be possible to expand or increase the capacity of the water tank; the land, situated in the centre of the village, could be utilized for any other public purpose like construction of a hospital etc; and, out of ten gram panchayat members in Damagatla Village, five members had opposed grant of permission, despite which the third respondent was granted patta. Despite service of notice, no counter affidavit has been filed by any of the respondents including the third respondent. At the stage of admission, this Court merely directed notice and did not grant stay. Sri S.Nageswara Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would fairly state that he is unaware of events which transpired subsequent to the filing of the Writ Petition. It is necessary, in this context, to note that the petitioner claims to have submitted a representation on 23.09.2002 to the second respondent to cancel the patta granted in favour of the third respondent. It is his grievance that no action has been taken on the said representation. I consider it appropriate, therefore, to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the second respondent to consider, and pass orders, on the petitioner’s representation dated 23.09.2002, in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date:27.01.2011 Usd
