The petitioner claims that her mother-R.Yasoda purchased an extent of 337 sq. yards situated in T.S.No.64/2 and 65/A of Navuluru village and Grampahcyat, Mangalagiri Mandal, Guntur District. During the course of enquiry, it is learnt that the property was already subjected to acquisition and the 1st respondent made the lands into plots and took up the process of allotment of plots. It is the case of the petitioner that she has already put up some constructions and has been running a school therein with strength of 500 students and therefore, a representation has been submitted seeking for allotment of the plot to her at the market value and the said representation is pending consideration. 3. On 05.01.2007 this Court granted an order of status quo. On 26.03.2008 this Court granted interim stay directing the 1st respondent not to demolish the existing structure of the building, where a school is being run for the present. Thereupon the respondents entered appearance and filed W.V.M.P.No.196 of 2007. When the vacate stay petition came up for consideration, the learned counsel appearing for the parties consented for disposal of the writ petition. 4. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the respondents are making allotment on applications and therefore, the petitioner filed an application for allotment and her application is pending consideration and in the event of demolition of existing structures on the land occupied by the petitioner, she would be put to great prejudice and loss. 6. A fact remains that the petitioner submitted an application for allotment of the plot in her occupation at market value. The said application is stated to be pending. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage directing the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon. Till disposal of the application of the petitioner, there shall be status quo existing as on this day. No costs. ______________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J. Date:14th July, 2008. cs .....
