THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23128 of 2008 ORDER: Though the matter is at the interlocutory stage, at the request of the learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and being disposed of by this order. In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not protecting her land admeasuring Ac.1.57 cents in Survey No.566/1P of Chinaganjam Village and Mandal, Prakasam District, and further, taking steps for grant of house- sites to third parties, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that she is the landless poor person and she was assigned the land in question by issuing D-Form Patta. It is her grievance that such assignment is in tact, and despite the same, steps are being taken by the respondents to grant pattas to the third parties for the purpose of house-sites in respect of the land in question. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, while denying various allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that assignment made in favour of the petitioner was cancelled as early as on 06.09.2008 in proceedings bearing Rc.Dt/185/08. In view of the same, pattas were issued to eligible persons on 10.10.2008. In view of cancellation of patta issued in favour of the petitioner and thereafter, issuance of pattas to the eligible persons in respect of the land in question, the petitioner cannot claim ownership over the land in question. As it is stated that a copy of the cancellation order is not served on the petitioner, during the course of hearing, it is served on the learned counsel for the petitioner. In that view of the matter, in view of the fact that cancellation order, dated 06.09.2008, is not subject matter of the writ petition, no relief can be granted in favour of the petitioner as sought by her. Granting liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy against the said order of cancellation, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th JUNE, 2011. kvni
