The Mandal Revenue Officer, Pendurthy, Visakhapatnam. .....RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the affidavit filed herein the High Court may be pleased to issue a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider our case for assignment for house sites in S.No.168/4, 5, 6 to a total extent of Ac.2.66 cents in Chinamushidivada Village by not dispossession us from the said land. Counsel for the Petitioners : DR.P.B.VIJAY KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents : GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed by the petitioners who are landless persons belonging to the weaker sections of the Society stating that they have been residing in Survey No.168/4, 5, and 6 of Chinamushidivada in an extent of Ac.2.66 cents which is a Government porombok land since long time and they have amenities like bore wells, roads etc., and they have also raised coconut trees and other trees in the said land. While so, the respondents are trying to dispossess the petitioners from the said land without following due process of law. Hence, they filed this writ petition apprehending threat of dispossession at the hands of the respondents. It is the case of the petitioners that they are entitled for assignment of the above said land in view of the policy of the Government i.e., to provide house sites to the weaker sections of the society. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition at the stage of admission by directing the first respondent-District Collector to conduct an enquiry and assign the lands to the petitioners, if they are eligible, in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the Order. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to evict the petitioners from the above said land. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs.
