THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.1701 of 2007 Dated:13.03.2007 Between: Dr.K.Bharghav. … Petitioner AND The Assistant Commissioner of Endowments and another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.1701 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be a member of hereditary Archakas of Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Swamy Temple, Vattipalli, Falaknama, Hyderabad. He filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents, namely, the Commissioner of Endowments and the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, in not conducting public auction of the land admeasuring about 938 square yards belonging the Temple. The petitioner allegedly approached the first respondent and submitted an application, who in turn sent a report on 08.11.2001 to the second respondent seeking permission to lease out the land in public auction. As no orders, as yet, are passed, the present Writ Petition is filed. In spite of granting sufficient time, no instructions are obtained by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments. Therefore, this Court is of considered opinion that the second respondent should look into the matter and get a report from the first respondent about the latest position and pass appropriate orders for leasing out the subject land by conducting public auction. If for any reason the land cannot be leased out in public auction, a communication may be sent to the petitioner. This exercise shall be completed within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 13.03.2007 Note: Issue C.C in one week. B/o. vs
