THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5729 of 2010 17.3.2010 Between: Yaduri Pydi Raju, S/o.Late Appa Rao and others …Petitioners and The Tahsildar, Parwada Mandal, Visakhapatnam and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5729 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners who are 25 in number are allegedly residents of Yeduruvanipalem, H/o.Thanam Parwada Mandal in Visakhapatnam District. They allege that their lands were acquired by Government of Andhra Pradesh for establishment of Pharma City. A rehabilitation and resettlement scheme/package (RRS) was evolved. The Government according to petitioners provided alternative sites to 163 land oustees. Another 63 persons, as per the list dated 28.10.2009, are yet to be provided house sites. When the matter is under consideration allegedly on 08.3.2010, first respondent along with staff came to the Village and directed petitioners to vacate the land in their possession within 24 hours. Apprehending coercive dispossession, they filed the instant writ petition seeking appropriate declaration and direction. The matter came up before this Court on 12.3.2010. The Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) sought time for getting instructions in the matter. Today, after getting instructions, he submits that the land is acquired by the Andhra Pradesh Industrial and Infrastructure Corporation and that alternative sites were already provided to all the land oustees. This is however disputed by the counsel for petitioners. He contends that though petitioners are in occupation of the land, in the list of allottees, their names were not mentioned and that they are also entitled for house sites and that arrangements are being made under RRS to allot alternative plots. This Court perused the affidavit accompanying the writ petition and other material filed along with the counter. Petitioners have enclosed photocopies of their household cards and voter identity cards to the writ petition. They prima facie support their contention that they are also residents of the Village. Therefore, first respondent may conduct necessary enquiry as to whether the petitioners are also entitled for the benefits under RRS and if they are eligible, they may also be provided alternative plots. If the petitioners are in possession and residing in the place as on today, there shall be status quo till the enquiry is completed by the Tahsildar. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) March 17, 2010. NOTE: Dispatch order copy by tomorrow. (By order) YS
