THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 21449 of 2007 Date:26-11-2007 Between: Ravuri Pethuru and (20) others … Petitioners AND The District Collector, Prakasham District, Ongole and two others .. Respondents ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in not demarcating the land assigned to the petitioners 1 to 15 and not assigning the land to the petitioners 16 to 21 as per the assignment committee approval in Sy.Nos.368/1, 291/1, 242P, 292/1, 257/B, 1P, 241/5, 347/4P, 292/4, 273/6, 288/1, 292, 288/2, 241/1, 367/4, 267/4, 368/2, 296P, 290, 292/1, 293/1, 296P and 1p in Kellampalli village, Mundlamur mandal, Prakasham District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners 1 to 15 that though D-form pattas have been granted in their favour in Sy.Nos.368/1, 291/1, 242P, 292/1, 257/B, 1P, 241/5, 347/4P, 292/4, 273/6, 288/1, 292, 288/2, 241/1, 367/4, 267/4, 368/2, 296P, 290, 292/1, 293/1, 296P and 1p in Kellampalli village, Mundlamur mandal, Prakasham District, the lands were not demarcated. It is stated that after assignment of the land, the petitioners could not cultivate the lands due to financial problems and due to drought conditions, they have left the village to eke out their livelihood and again when they came back, the boundaries of the lands have been disturbed and some disputes arose and accordingly, the petitioners have made a representation, dated 20.09.2007 to take steps for measurement of the land and for fixing the boundaries. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the merits of the case. However, as the said representation said to have been filed by the petitioners on 20.09.2007 is pending, and if any such representation is received and pending, the third respondent may consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. The writ petition insofar as the petitioners 16 to 21 is concerned, is dismissed with liberty to pursue their remedies before the appropriate authority in accordance with law. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:26.11.2007 ccm Note: Furnish C.C. within three days.
