PETITIONER AND 1 The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District at Lakidikapool, Hyderabad. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Ranga Reddy East, at Goshamahal, Hyderabad. 3 The Thasildar, Kandukur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. ...RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to issue writ, order, direction of the writ more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the Respondents in not issuing the patta certificate to the petitioner to the land in Sy.No. 443, an extent of Ac. 0.06 guntas situated at Thimmapur Village, Kandukur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, and trying to disposes the petitioner without following the due process of law as illegal, arbitrary and violation of Article 21 of the constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to issue patta certificate to the petitioner. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.B.SHIVA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner states that he is a landless poor person and for the last 50 years, his family is in possession of the government poramboke land in Sy.No.443 to an extent of Ac.0.06 guntas situated at Thimmapur Village, Kandukur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District by cultivating the land for the last 30 years. It is also stated that he obtained permission from the gram panchayat to construct wall on 10.8.2000 but due to financial difficulties, he could not construct the boundary wall and in the year 2007, after obtaining permission from the gram panchayat, he has constructed the boundary wall also. Subsequently, he has also applied to the authorities for issuance of patta certificate for the said land. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he is entitled for a patta certificate in respect of the land in his possession, the respondents are not issuing the patta certificate and on the other hand are trying to evict him from the said land. In support of his plea that he is in possession of the land for the last so many years, the petitioner filed the pahanies for the years 1999-2000 and 2000- 2001. Pursuant to the notice issued by this Court on 13.12.2007, the respondents filed a detailed counter inter alia stating that the petitioner herein has forged and fabricated the pahanies for the years1999-2000 and 2000-2001 showing as if he is in possession of 6 guntas of land and that the same were not issued by the concerned authorities and that appropriate action will be initiated against the concerned officials. It is also denied that the petitioner approached the authorities for grant of patta on the ground that he is a landless poor person. It is further stated that the land in Sy.No.443 admeasuring Ac.5.04 guntas has been assigned to various people and now the land is earmarked for construction of houses under the Indiramma Scheme and various persons have been put in possession of plots. The petitioner’s name also is being considered for allotment of plot under the said scheme. In view of the above counter averments, I see no reason to entertain the writ petition. It is accordingly closed. N.V.RAMANA,J DATED.26.6.2008 msv .....
