RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 7071 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondents in not considering the representations of the petitioners dated 16.2.2007 and 15.9.2007 for reconveyance of the land assigned to them admeasuring Ac.5.00 each in survey Nos. 183/2 and 183/1, Namavaram village, Rajanagaram mandal, East Godavari district as illegal and arbitrary. The case of the petitioners is that the subject land was assigned to them on 30.9.1979 and they brought the said land under cultivation by spending huge amounts borrowed from private persons. That they failed to discharge the loans raised by them and sold the subject land vide document no.508 of 1985 dated 25.1.1985. However, they contend that patta granted to them is a conditional patta and transfer of patta is prohibited under the provisions of A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977 and the documents executed by them are illegal. Thereafter, petitioners submitted representations dated 16.2.2007 and 15.9.2007 requesting the authorities to re-convey the subject land on par with Mr Nakka Rajababu, a similarly placed person, in whose case the land was reallotted by proceedings ref No.P76/2007 dated 25.7.2007. Since no further action is taken on the said representations, filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. Both counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the admission stage. Having regard to the agreed stand taken by both the counsel, without going into the merits of the matter, it would suffice to dispose of the writ petition directing the third respondent to consider the representations of the petitioners dated 16.2.2007 and 15.9.2007 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 1.4.2008 TVK ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
