Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.Y.RAMA RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : .. Oral Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he made an application on 13.3.2008 to respondents 1 to 4 to correct the entries in the revenue records in respect of mistake crept in the pahanies pertaining to the land in Sy.No.139 admeasuring Ac.6.08 guntas situate at Garepalli Village, Kataram Mandal, Karimnagar District, no action has been taken by the respondents so far. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that the petitioner has made the application only on 13.3.2008 and, therefore, it is too early to say that the respondents have acted arbitrarily in disposing of the application and direct them to dispose of the application of the petitioner. No doubt, the petitioner has filed the application only on 13.3.2008 and there are no urgent circumstances warranting fixation of any time schedule to the respondents to dispose of the application of the petitioner. But in view of the allegations made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the respondents are taking steps to assign/allot the land in question in favour of a minority institution, the interest of the petitioner is also required to be protected. In the circumstances, a direction is given to the respondents to consider the application dated 13.3.2008 made by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and pass appropriate orders. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to assign/allot the land in question to any third party. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. N.V.RAMANA,J Dt.18.3.2008 msv ...
