THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5653 OF 2010 DATED:11.03.2010 Between: P.Vanaja and others .. Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by it District Collector, Chittoor And others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5653 OF 2010 ORDER: The four petitioners are residents of Chittoor Town. They purchased an extent of Ac.0.50 cents in Survey No.252/1A, Ac.0.50 cents in Survey No.252/1B, Ac.50 cents in Survey No.252/1C, Ac.0.22 cents in Survey No.251/2A, 251/2B and 251/2C and Ac.0.46 cents in Survey No.252/2 of Greamspet Village, Chittoor Mandal, Chittoor District for a sale consideration of Rs.1,90,000/- under a registered sale deed dated 13.08.2002. The second respondent addressed a letter to the fourth respondent on 19.10.2009. By the said letter, the fourth respondent was requested to get a resolution passed by the Municipal Council for alienating the various extents of land in various survey numbers including the land comprised in Survey Nos.251 and 252 as alienation proposals are pending in the Revenue Department. Feeling aggrieved by the said letter, the present Writ Petition is filed. It is axiomatic that the power under judicial discretion under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is review of an administrative decision and not the review of administrative procedures that precede a decision. As the proposals to alienate the Government land to different departments are pending and the land proposed vests in the Municipal Council as per Section 37 of the Andhra Pradesh Municipalities Act, 1965, the Tahsildar requested the Commissioner to see that a resolution is passed. There is a requirement under the law and any procedure for statutory compliance cannot be faulted, merely because it is likely to result any adverse decision to the petitioners. The Writ Petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 11.03.2010 KH
