THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No. 1534 of 2002 Dated:23.02.2008 Between: Satyanarayana S/o Ananthaiah and others. .. PETITIONERS AND The Collector/Executive Director, A.P.State Housing Corporation Limited, Ranga Reddy District at Lakadikapul, Hyderabad and others. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 1534 of 2002 Order: Questioning the action of the 1st respondent-District Collector in canceling the house site pattas granted in favour of the petitioners and allotting the same to some other beneficiaries, vide proceedings dated 16.11.2001, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. This Court, on 30.01.2002, while admitting the writ petition granted interim stay of the impugned proceedings. Even though more than six years have elapsed, no counter is filed by the respondents rebutting the allegations made by the petitioners in the writ petition. That apart, when the matter is taken up, none appears for the respondents, nor is there any representation made on their behalf. In the absence of any counter filed by the respondents denying the allegations made by the petitioners in the writ petition, this Court has no other alternative, but to hold that the respondents are not interested to defend their case, and believe the averments made by the petitioners in the writ petition to be true and correct and allow the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed, and the impugned order dated 16.11.2001 passed by the 1st respondent-District Collector is set aside. No costs. __________ 23.01.2008 sh
