Petitioners And The District Collector The Revenue Divisional Officer The Tahsildar The Managing Director .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioners, who claim to be the small farmers, assert that they all belong to minority community and the State Government, under the welfare scheme, had assigned small extents of waste Government lands to their ancestors, totalling Ac.122.10 guntas in Sy.No.52 situated in Kokat village, Yalal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, for cultivation about 30 to 40 years ago, and after their ancestors, the petitioners, being the successors, have been in possession and enjoyment of the same, and pattadar passbooks and title deeds were also issued in their favour. Now, the petitioners’ grievance is that on 21.01.2009, the official respondents, without following the due process of law and without paying suitable compensation, tried to dispossess them from their lands stating that the lands in question are allotted in favour of the 4th respondent-Corporation for construction of houses to the weaker sections under Rajeev Swagruha Scheme. Hence, the petitioners filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. This Court, on 13.02.2009, while admitting the writ petition, granted interim direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from their lands. Today, when this matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the respondents have considered their case for payment of compensation at the rate of Rs.1,30,000/- per acre which was already deposited with the 1st respondent-District Collector, and the same was sent to the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, for disbursement, as such, nothing survives in this writ petition for further adjudication. However, the learned counsel submits that there is a standing crop in the lands in question, which is ready for harvesting. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleader for Assignment appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3 and the learned counsel for the 4th respondent. Having regard to the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the case of the petitioners for payment of compensation is considered and having regard to the fact that a standing crop in the lands in question is ready for harvest, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The respondents are directed not to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question for a period of four weeks from today, and the petitioners shall, within the stipulated time, harvest the crop, and thereafter, vacate the lands in question voluntarily, and the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, shall take steps for disbursement of the payment of compensation to the petitioners.” Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ C.V. RAMULU, J 8th December, 2009 Note: Furnish copy in three days. B/o bcj
