His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Industries. The petitioner is said to have made the application for alienation of the land for the purpose of dumping material and parking vehicles while operating the quarry in survey No.199 of the said village. The question as to whether the petitioner is entitled to be extended any beneﬁt, needs to be examined by the respondents with reference to the existing provisions of law. This Court cannot compel the respondents to alienate any Government land to an individual or an agency. However, the respondents have to make their position clear on the application made by the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the ﬁrst respondent to communicate its decision on the application made by the petitioner, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall enclose the correspondence that have ensued so far, along with the copy of this order, and submit to the ﬁrst respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:16.09.2008. Note: Issue c.c. in one week. kdl
