Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.V.PRABHAKARA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner questioning the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess him from the land admeasuring Ac.0.50 cents in R.S.No.188 of China Tadinada Village, Kalidindi Mandal, Krishna District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The petitioner claims that he is a leaseholder of the unuseful government land and that he is using the said land for growing fish and is also paying the lease amount regularly. In the year 1995, the petitioner along with others filed a writ petition being W.P.No.3032 of 1995 before this Court seeking a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Gudivada, Krishna District to regularize their possession by reconveying the lands mentioned in Annexure-1 under B.S.O.No.90, and this Court vide order dated 29.8.2003 disposed of the said writ petition granting two months time to the petitioners therein to continue the fish growing for a period of two months from that date and afterwards to vacate the said tank. It was also directed that the Government may consider the cases of the petitioners along with others for grant of lease, if similarly situated persons are also granted lease. The case of the petitioner is that pursuant to the said directions, he was also granted the lease and accordingly he was paying the lease amount but from the last two years, the respondents even though collected the lease amount are not giving the receipts and now they are trying to dispossess him from the said land. However, no such material is produced before this Court to substantiate the said contentions. The petitioner has also not produced any receipts in proof of payment of lease even for the previous year. In the circumstances, no relief can be granted to the petitioner in this writ petition. The writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.23.6.2008 msv .....
