HON’BLE SHRI G.S.SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24805 OF 2006 Between: Kishan Rao Soanker . . .Petitioner AND The Special Chief Secretary to Government, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Revenue (Assignment) Department, Hyderabad & another . . .Respondents :: ORDER :: Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri S.V. Muni Reddy Counsel for the Respondent Nos.2&3: Shri K.Srinivasa Rao Date: 29.11. 2006 Per G.S.SINGHVI, CJ Petitioner – Kishan Rao Soanker, who claims to be executive member of the Professors’ Colony Welfare Association, Hyderabad, has filed this petition in the name of public interest litigation for issue of a direction to the respondents to regularize the possession of the heirs of assignees and legal transferees of the alleged landless poor to whom the lands were allotted/assigned under Laoni Rules, 1950. We have heard Sri S.V.Muni Reddy and perused the record. In our opinion, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed because the averments contained in the affidavit of the petitioner are totally devoid of basic particulars. He has neither disclosed the names of the persons to whom lands were allotted or assigned under the Laoni Rules nor he has given the extent of assignment/allotment. The date, month or year in which such assignments/allotments are said to have been made have not been disclosed. The petition is also conspicuously silent about the names of the heirs of the assignees/allottees and their transferees. Therefore, vague and bald assertion contained in the affidavit that such allotments/assignments were made more than thirty years ago cannot be made basis for issue of mandamus to the respondents to regularize the possession of unknown heirs and legal transferees of assignees and allottees. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. We would have saddled the petitioner with exemplary costs for filing such a frivolous petition but refrain from doing so because of his age. G.S.SINGHVI, CJ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 29.11.2006 ams
