HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No. 9392 of 2005 Date: 16-09-2010 Between: Suthari Veeraswamy and others ……….. Petitioners and The Special Officer and Competent Authority, Urban Land Ceiling, Warangal. ………. Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No. 9392 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in interfering with the petitioner’s land to an extent of 1270 square meters in Sy.No.2121 situated at Fort Warangal, Warangal, as illegal and arbitrary. It appears, the petitioners have earlier filed W.P.No.20323 of 1994 and the same was allowed on 18-03-2004. The order reads as under: “The petitioners, who are the sons of the deceased declarant filed this writ petition inter alia seeking to assail the correctness of the notice dated 2-9-1994 issued under Section 10(5) of the Urban Land Ceiling Act. The main grievance of the petitioners is that in pursuance of the declaration filed by the original declarant, orders under Section 8(4) of the Act were passed on 11-10- 1982. Thereafter, the original declarant died in the year 1987. However, the impugned notice was issued in the year 1994 in the name of the deceased declarant and no notice has been issued to the petitioners herein by adding them as legal representatives of the deceased declarant. On consideration of the facts and circumstances and also on perusal of the material on record it is evident that the original declarant died and the notice was issued in favour of the deceased declarant. Under the circumstances the Writ Petition is allowed. The impugned notice is set aside. However, it shall be open for the respondent to issue fresh notice to the petitioners herein, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, after giving an opportunity to them. No costs.” Now the grievance of the petitioners is that in spite of there being a direction by this Court in the said writ petition, the respondents have not issued any fresh notice to them and are trying to dispossess them. Hence, this writ petition is filed. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 26-04-2005, granted interim direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question without following the due process of law. In view of the fact that no notice under Section 10(5) of the Urban Land Ceiling Act was served on the petitioners, all the proceedings under the Urban Land Ceiling Act, in view of the repealing Act of Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agriculture Holdings) Act, 1973, stands abated. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V. RAMULU, J Date: 16-09-2010 YCR
