The case of the petitioners is that in spite of the fact that the said report was submitted by the Mandal Revenue Officer as long back as on 18.03.2002, no further steps have been taken so far. However, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, under instructions, states that in pursuance of the report of the Mandal Revenue Officer, dated 18.03.2002 as forwarded by the Revenue Divisional Officer vide Lr.No.D/1141/2002 dated 20.11.2002, the matter has been taken up for further enquiry and it was found that no vacant Government land free from encroachment or litigation is available in Serilingampally Mandal to accommodate the eligible beneficiaries in Survey Nos.322 to 328 of Chandranagar Village and in Survey No.195 of Nallagandla or anywhere else and therefore the request of the petitioners has not been considered and a report to that effect was also submitted to the Collector vide Lr.No.B/365/1998 dated 08.08.2003 and consequently, the Government vide Memo No.2700/HBH (1)/2004-1 dated 17.11.2004 has decided not to issue house site pattas to any individuals in the urban Mandals. In the circumstances, the learned Government Pleader states that there is no possibility for issuing the house site pattas as claimed by the petitioners. The submissions of the learned Government Pleader have been placed on record and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to communicate the decision of the Government to the petitioners, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order, in which event, it is open to the petitioners to work out the appropriate remedy as available under law.
