THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.17258 OF 2009 Dated: 20.08.2009 Between: Mahatma Jyothi Rao Poole Bahujanaseva Sangh Society Ramanujapalli Village, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District, rep. by its President Mr. R. Jayaramaiah .. Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its Principal Secretary, Department of Revenue, Secretariat Buildings, Saifabad, Hyderabad, and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Heard both sides. It is the case of the petitioner Society that its members belong to weaker sections i.e. B.C., S.C. and S.T., that all of them are landless poor persons and they have approached all the concerned authorities, on several occasions, requesting to allot them some extent of land in Sy.No.119 situated at Ramanujapalli, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, which is lying vacant. It is the further case of the petitioner that, pursuant to the directions issued by the 2nd respondent- District Collector, Chittoor, acting on the representation of the petitioner Society, the 4th respondent- Tahsildar, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, has conducted a detailed enquiry and submitted a report stating that the land in Sy.No.119 is classified as Tank Poramboke, but the tank was defunct long back. Further, in view of the directions of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, A.P., technical opinion was also called for from the authorities of the Irrigation Department, as to whether the classification of the said land can be changed from Tank Poramboke to AWD for providing house sites to the weaker sections, and the technical opinion also recommends that an extent of Ac.6.13 cents in Sy.No.119 is feasible for allotment of house sites to the members of petitioner Society. It is the grievance of the petitioner Society that, in spite of such recommendations, no steps have been taken for allotment of house sites to its members and, therefore, it has again made representations dated 22.06.2009 and 27.07.2009 to respondents 3 and 4, seeking to grant them house site pattas for the land in an extent of Ac.6.13 cents in Sy.No.119, but so far they have not been acted upon. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents 3 and 4 to consider the representations made by the petitioner Society on 22.06.2009 and 27.07.2009 and pass appropriate orders as per law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 20th August, 2009. Note:- Issue CC in ten days. (B/o) IBL
