THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17387 OF 2010 DATED: 31.12.2010 Between : K. Mohammed .. Petitioner And 1. The District Collector, Anantapur Anantapur District., and 3 others. .. Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17387 OF 2010 ORDER : The petitioner herein claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of the land to an extent of Ac.7.67 in Sy.No.295 situated at Kalluru Village, Kalluru Agraharam Fields, Garladinne Revenue Mandal, Anantapur District. This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the inaction of the respondent in considering the petitioner’s request for issuance of ‘No Objection Certificate’ for registration of the above said land. It is not in dispute that the above said land was originally assigned to one Yerra Boya Nallappa and ‘D’ form patta was granted in his favour. However the petitioner claims that since the assignment took place prior to G.O.Ms.No.1142, dated 18.6.1954, there was no prohibition of alienation and thus the petitioner had acquired absolute title in respect of the said land notwithstanding that it was an assigned land. A counter-affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3 stating that after receiving the application of the petitioner, necessary enquiry at basic level was conducted and proposals in favour of the petitioner were sent to the 1st respondent through the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur on 29.11.2009 and the final order would be passed by the first respondent at the earliest. Having regard to the stand taken by the respondents in their counter-affidavit, no further enquiry is necessary and accordingly the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 31.12.2010 ISL/GBS
