THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8761 OF 2006 05.06.2006 Between: V.Dhakshina Murthy, S/o.late Satyanarayana … Petitioner AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Yarragondapalem And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8761 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the District Collector, Prakasam District in not converting Kunta poramboke land admeasuring Acs.0.26 in survey No.82 of Yarragondapalem village and Mandal as Assessed Waste (AW) dry and in not assigning/alienating the land to the petitioner. He therefore seeks appropriate order in this writ petition. A perusal of the affidavit accompanying the writ petition and the proceedings of various revenue authorities annexed to the writ petition would show that the request of the petitioner for alienation of the land in question was accepted and he was asked to pay the market value, which he paid. When the proposals were sent to the District Collector for passing necessary orders for conversion of land, the matter was kept pending. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General), without going into merits of the case, the matter can be disposed of. A perusal of paragraph 2.2 of BSO 15 would show that the District Collector shall be the authority to transfer poramboke from one head to another or to AW. Therefore, it would be in the fitness of things for the District Collector to pass appropriate orders on the proposals submitted by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Yarragondapalem in Rc.B.67/2003. This exercise may be completed within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, keeping in view the settled principles for conversion of land from one category to another category. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) June 05, 2006 Note: Issue order copy by 07.06.2006. (By order) YS
