By its district Collector and others ..Respondents The Court made the following Order: HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.20978 of 2010 ORDER :- Aggrieved by the action of the respondent-authorities in seeking to assign the communal site admeasuring Acs.0-52 cents in the lay out plan in R.S.No.461/2B of Kothapet Village, East Godavari District, without considering his objections, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. It is his case that the proposed assignment is in violation of the lay out rules and the relevant Board Standing Orders. This Court, by order dated 24.08.2010, directed the respondents not to take any steps to assign the land which was shown for communal purpose in the lay out approved in R.S.No.461/2B of Kothapet Village, East Godavari District. The Tahsildar, Kothapet Mandal, East Godavari District, stated in his counter that though the subject land was initially proposed to be assigned to nine houseless persons, the said proposal was returned by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Amalapuram, directing identification of other vacant plots for the said purpose. It is further stated that as per the instructions of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Amalapuram, no further action was taken insofar as the proposed assignment of the communal site is concerned. Needless to state, once the site was reserved in the lay out for a communal purpose as per the relevant guidelines, it cannot be put to any other use except in accordance with law. The stand of the Tahsildar, Kothapet Mandal, as reflected in his counter is duly recorded to the effect that the subject communal site will not be utilised for the purpose of house sites. The Writ Petition is accordingly closed. No Costs. _________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J March 30, 2011 Lmv
