Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.JAVED RAZACK Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioners ventilated in the present writ petition is that their father was a member of Jawaharnagar Land Colonisation Cooperative Society for Ex-Servicemen and during his life time, he was allotted Acs.10-00 guntas of land in Survey Nos.433 and 434, Malkaram Village, Medchal Taluq, Hyderabad District and after his death, the respondents are not issuing pattedar passbooks in their favour in the light of G.O.Ms.No.17, dated 05-01-1976 in spite of their representation. Hence, the present writ petition. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, on instructions, submits that in fact, father of the petitioners was assigned only Acs.5-00 Guntas of land and entitled to the benefits under G.O.Ms.No.17, dated 05-01-1976, wherein, it was held that the original allottees or their legal representatives, who are in continuous occupation of the land in question are first be accommodated on the land and only after the requirement of Ex-servicemen, the claims of other eligible landless poor of the area would be considered. In view of the same, the case of the petitioners will be considered based upon the original allotment made in their favour. In view of the above, it is for the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioners in the light of the above mentioned G.O., and it is needless to add that they have to conduct an enquiry after due notice to the petitioners and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of.
