Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.P.GANGA RAMI REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.26629 of 2008 ORDER: The Government of Andhra Pradesh issued G.O. Ms. No.30, Irrigation & C.A.D. (Projects Wing-TGP.I ) Department, dated 15.2.1994 for constitution of the Rehabilitation Cells for preparation, implementation and monitoring of Rehabilitation Master Plan in respect of Telugu Ganga Project. Annexure-II to Government Order contains various guidelines for provision of house sites to those persons whose lands are affected by implementation of Telugu Ganga Project. The petitioners herein are residents of Penubarthi Village on the banks of Kandaleru Reservoir under Telugu Ganga Project. The lands in the petitioners’ village were acquired in 1993. But, they were not given the benefit of G.O. Ms. No.30, dated 15.2.1994. The respondents appeared to have allotted house plots to the persons recommended by local politicians, but did not consider the names of the petitioners. Therefore, after making attempts of redressal before the respondents, they filed the instant writ petition. This Court, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area), is of the considered opinion that the only relief claimed by the petitioners is consideration of representation dated 10.11.2008 for allotment of house sites under Rehabilitation Scheme. Therefore, third respondent may consider the application and pass appropriate orders under communication to the petitioners. This exercise shall be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________ V.V.S.
