THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8346 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be in possession of 300 square yards of land in Survey No.124 of Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. She is said to have purchased it under a sale deed, dated 31.03.1992. However, on noticing that the land in Survey No.124 belongs to the Government, the petitioner filed an application on 30.06.2008 seeking benefit under G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008. Her grievance is that the respondents are not taking any steps on the application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The Government itself evolved a scheme for regularization of encroachments or illegal occupation of the Government land. The terms of the scheme are stipulated in G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008. Though the petitioner initially proceeded on the assumption that she is the owner of the land, on realizing that the land is owned by the Government, she filed the application under the said G.O. There is no reason why the application submitted by the petitioner cannot be processed. In case the petitioner fulfills the conditions stipulated under the G.O., the encroachment or occupation needs to be regularized. On the other hand, if she is found to be not fulfilling those conditions, the reasons for not extending the relief need to be communicated. Either way, the application cannot be kept pending. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall pass appropriate orders on the application submitted by the petitioner in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:22.04.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8346 of 2009 Date: 22.04.2009 JSU
