HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 28988 OF 2011 Date: 14.11.2011 Between: K.V.Sitharama Raju … Petitioner And 1. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Industries and Commerce (MI) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad, Rep. by its Secretary … Respondents ORDER: The petitioner, who is an Ex-President of the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Rambilli Village and Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, has approached this Court against inaction of the respondents, particularly, third respondent, in proposing to issue D-Form Pattas for the lands in Survey Nos.195, 196 and 197 of Gunupudi and Bangarammapeta Villages of Nakkapalli Mandal, in violation of Government guidelines and G.O.Ms.No.24, Industries and Commerce (M.I) Department, dated 16.02.2002. 2 . The petitioner had filed a representation before the second respondent - District Collector pointing out the aforesaid policy of the Government and had also brought to their notice that the lands aforesaid have rich mineral wealth and as such issuance of D-Form Pattas of these very lands is contrary to the Government’s policy and would also be against the proposal of Coastal Corridor Express Highway Lane. 3. When Notice before admission was issued, the third respondent has filed a counter-affidavit specifically stating that the petitioner’s representation dated 03.10.2011 is under examination and consideration and that though there is no pending application for grant of lease for mining in the said lands, the petitioner’s representation will be disposed of as per rules. 4. In view of the said categorical assertions of the third respondent in the counter-affidavit, apprehension of the petitioner is clearly misplaced. Hence, it is not necessary to entertain this writ petition for grant of any relief except recording the averments in the counter- affidavit as mentioned above. 5. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ Vilas V. Afzulpurkar, J Date: 14.11.2011 va
