THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28935 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner was granted patta over an extent of Ac.0.80 cents of agricultural land in Survey No.152 of Uchuru Village, D.V.Satram Mandal, Nellore District on 26.01.2005. She states that she has not been put in possession so far though all the formalities have been completed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Assignments. The petitioner was issued a patta for agricultural land way back on 26.01.2005, obviously with the required fanfare. She was also handed over a copy of the letter, dated 26.01.2005, said to have been signed may be in facsimile by the Hon’ble Chief Minister. This naturally gives rise to hope and expectation for the petitioner that she would be put in possession of the land. Almost three years have elapsed and the various representations made by the petitioner for putting her into possession of the land did not yield any result. Unless an assignee is put in possession of the land, the very act of assignment not only becomes unrealistic, but also, in a way, is prone to be deceitful. The Government cannot proclaim in public that it granted pattas to so many beneficiaries and refuse to perform the obligation of putting the assignee in possession of the land. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to deliver possession of the land assigned to the petitioner through patta, dated 26.01.2005, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, through a specific panchanama. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:25.02.2009 kdl
