THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.28119 of 2009 DATED: 21.04.2010 Between: Y.S.R. Jana Abyudaya Seva Sangham Regd.No.349/2009, rep. by its Secretary M. Madhusudan Raju .. Petitioner And The District Collector & Magistrate, Chittoor District, and others. .. Respondents ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner Society that its members have been in occupation of land in Sy.Nos.425/1, 426/2 and 427 of Settipalli Village, Tirupathi Urban Mandal, Chittoor District, and they have submitted representation dated 02.12.2009 to the 3rd respondent- Tahsildar, Tirupathi Urban Revenue Mandal, seeking regularization of their occupation of the said land and allotment of house site pattas in their favour. It is the grievance of the petitioner Society that, though their members are eligible for regularization of their occupation as per G.O.Ms.No.166 dated 16.02.2008, the respondents, without considering the same and without disposing of their representation, are trying to dispossess them from the subject land. A detailed counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, wherein it is categorically stated that the subject land, which is Government land, is lying vacant and the members of the petitioner Society are never in its possession and, hence, the question of their eviction therefrom or regularization of their occupation as per G.O.Ms.No.166 dated 16.02.2008 does not arise. In view of the aforesaid stand taken by the respondents, I am of the considered opinion that the relief sought by the petitioner cannot be granted and the writ petition is devoid of merits. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 21st April, 2010 IBL
