They allege that all of them belong to Scheduled Caste. When they approached the respondents 1 to 3 the petitioners were allotted land admeasuring Ac.1.00 each in S.No.927/1 which they have been cultivating raising dry crops. They also allege that they have been approaching the officials for grant of pattas in respect of Acs.13.00 of land in their possession and the matter is pending. They alleged that the Mandal Revenue Inspector also conducted enquiry on the applications made by the petitioners, and submitted a report regarding eligibility of the petitioners for assignment of land. In spite of the same, no orders are passed. Hence, this Writ Petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to assign land in S.No.927/1. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General), this Court is of considered opinion that instead of keeping the matter pending, the Writ Petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders by conducting enquiry on the applications submitted by the petitioners for grant of pattas, if the petitioners are in possession of the land in S.No.927/1 and if there are no encumbrances on the said land. This exercise may be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition with the above observations and directions is accordingly disposed of. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 2.2.2006 bnr Note:Issue CC in one week. (B.O) bnr
