THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.1477 of 2011 Date: 29.01.2011 Between : Chavali Suryanarayana Murthy and others. … Petitioners and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep.by its Principal Secretary, Endowment Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.1477 of 2011 ORDER : Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Endowments appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2, and Sri V.T.M. Prasad, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.3. With the consent of the respective counsel, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioners claim to be the Archakas of the 3rd respondent-Sri Syamalamba Ammavari Temple, Kaikaluru, Krishna District. Out of the extent of Acs.120-00 of land belonging to the temple, an extent of Acs.40-00 were allotted in favour of the Archakas, who perform the Archakatvam in the said temple. Out of the extent of Acs.40-00 allotted to the petitioners, an extent of Acs.9-27 cents was acquired in the year 1989 and Award No.2 of 1989 was passed on 17.11.1989, which ultimately attained finality by judgment and decree dated 31.12.1997 in O.P.No.79 of 1989 passed by the Subordinate Judge, Machilipatnam. Pursuant to the said judgment and decree dated 31.12.1997, the compensation amount of Rs.7,02,732/- was deposited in the Court. The petitioners, being the Archakas, are receiving an amount of Rs.1,400/- per month out of the interest accrued on the said amount towards their share for performing Archakatvam in the 3rd respondent-temple. 3. It is stated that as the amount so deposited in the Court is not yielding adequate interest and as the petitioners are required to approach the Court each time for withdrawal of their share, expressing the said difficulties they made a representation dated 01.10.2010 to respondent Nos.1 and 2 expecting orders thereon within a reasonable time. As the petitioners did not evoke any response from the respondents, they have filed the present writ petition. 4. The short grievance now presented by the petitioners in this writ petition is that despite considerable time had elapsed, respondent Nos.1 and 2 have not passed any orders on their representation dated 01.10.2010. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos.1 and 2 to consider the representation dated 01.10.2010 said to have been filed by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 29.01.2011. NOTE: Issue C.C. in two days.
