The petitioner claims to be in possession of Ac.0.4 ½ guntas of Government land, which is contiguous to the land over which it has established its industry. On coming to know about the said fact, respondent No.4 sought to dispossess the petitioner. The petitioner has filed Writ Petition No.12328 of 1996 in this Court, which was dismissed on 28.11.2006 for non-prosecution. When there was further threat of dispossession, the petitioner made a representation on 30.08.2010 to respondent No.2 to regularize the encroachment by receiving the market value of the land. Respondent No.2 vide his letter dated 02.09.2010 directed respondent Nos.3 and 4 to send a detailed feasibility report. The petitioner apprehends that even before respondent No.2 decides on its application, respondent Nos.3 and 4 may dispossess it from the land in question. It is specifically alleged that on 18.10.2010, respondent No.4 came to the land and demanded the petitioner to vacate the same. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), on instructions, submitted that the petitioner was found to be in possession of Ac.0.06 guntas of government land and that respondent No.2 has called for reports from respondent Nos.3 and 4. She further stated that the petitioner’s application is still pending consideration before respondent No.2 and that there is no proposal to dispossess the petitioner till the said representation is disposed of. In the light of the above facts of the case, respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the petitioner’s representation in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the disposal of the representation and communication to the petitioner, no coercive steps for recovery of possession from the petitioner shall be taken. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.33537 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date: 25.10.2010 ES
