Gopala Reddy Counsel for respondents 2&3: Smt. Vijayalaxmi This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5490 of 2005 ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal. This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to sell the agricultural lands of the petitioner and his family admeasuring Ac.21.38 guntas of Fareedpur Village, Medak Mandal, Medak District in pursuance of sale notice dated Nil issued by respondent No.2, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Sri I. Gopala Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submitted that the petitioner’s liability for payment of the outstanding loan amount is not in dispute. But however, he stated that the petitioner made a representation on 11.03.2005, wherein he requested the respondents to intimate him the exact outstanding amount apart from considering his request for One Time Settlement. No counter-affidavit is filed. Smt. Vijayalaxmi, learned counsel representing respondent Nos.2 and 3 submitted that since the petitioner does not fall within the expression of “small farmer” and is not entitled to the benefit of loan waiver scheme, he is liable to pay the outstanding loan amount. She also submitted that there is no provision for One Time Settlement and the request of the petitioner in that regard cannot be accepted. Inasmuch as the petitioner made representation dated 11.03.2005 and his grievance is limited to non-disposal of the same by the respondents before seeking to sell the property in question and this Court by interim order dated 18.03.2005 granted stay of sale of the property, I deem it appropriate to and accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider representation dated 11.03.2005 of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, no coercive steps to recover the loan amount shall be taken. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.7262 of 2005 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 20.06.2008 ES
