THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16809 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners claim to be the owners of land admeasuring Acs.3.02 guntas covered by Survey No.354/5 and 354/6 of Vittalpur Village, Maldakal Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. The husband of the second petitioner appears to have made some representation to the first respondent - District Collector, Mahabubnagar, alleging encroachment into their land and constructing a bund by the villagers and stated that the said illegal construction resulted in submersion of their land causing loss of about Rs.2,00,000/-. Based on such representation, the first respondent has instructed the third respondent - Tahsildar, Maldakal Mandal, to conduct enquiry and report the same. Pursuant to such instructions of the first respondent, the third respondent addressed a letter bearing No.A/5438/2009, dated 11.06.2010 to the first respondent reporting that there is no irregular bund constructed by the villagers and that the lands assigned in favour of the family members of the petitioners may be cancelled as they were not eligible for assignment of Government lands. A perusal of the letter, dated 11.06.2010 shows that it is only a departmental communication from the third respondent to the first respondent by way of a report. As on today, there is no initiation of proceedings for cancellation. On mere apprehension that the steps are being taken for cancellation of assignments, this writ petition is filed. In the absence of initiation of proceedings or any notice for cancellation, based on the intra-departmental communication, no writ petition can be entertained at this stage. The writ petition is devoid of merit and accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 16th JULY, 2010. kvni
