Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Revenue Department and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri A.V. Sesha Sai Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 5 : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for respondent Nos.6 to 9: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.25668 of 2010 ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in considering the petitioner’s representations dated 9-6-2010 and 23-6-2010 for restoration of land admeasuring Ac.1-05 cents in R.S.Nos.250/1, 246/13, 247/12, 249/19, 241/11 and 233/43 of Ayodyalanka village, Achanta Mandal, West Godavari District as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims that he was granted D-Form patta in respect of the above land in the year 1981. It is his case that taking advantage of his temporary absence in the village, respondent Nos.6 to 9 illegally occupied the petitioner’s land and started construction of houses. The petitioner is stated to have made the above mentioned representations to restore his possession. It is his further case that on receipt of his representations, respondent No.5 issued notice dated 26-5-2010 in Form No.1 under A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules 2007, calling upon the petitioner to show cause why the assignment made in his favour should not be cancelled and the land resumed to the Government in view of the alleged transfer made by him to third parties. The petitioner pleaded that in reply to the said show cause notice, he has submitted explanation on 9-6-2010. In the light of the above facts, the relief claimed by the petitioner that his representations for restoration of the land should be considered by respondent No.5 cannot be granted at this stage. Unless the proceedings initiated by respondent No.5 under the provisions of A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short “the Act”) are concluded and orders passed, the petitioner cannot seek restoration of the land. In this view of the matter the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.5 to complete the proceedings under the Act and pass an appropriate order within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.32775/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date : 8-10-2010 AM
