Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for hearing at the admission stage itself. The petitioner is a registered housing cooperative society registered under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964. There are about 200 members in the said society. It is its case that it purchased an extent of Ac.7.20 guntas of land under registered documents dated 26.2.1981 situated in Sy.Nos.25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 of Gopanpally Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. Though as per the sanctioned lay out, there was approach road, for the reasons best known to the authorities, the members are facing problems in approaching their house plots and, therefore, some of its members approached this Court and ﬁled a writ petition being W.P.No.22478 of 2004 and this Court by orders dated 7.12.2004 disposed of the said writ petition directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner. It is also stated that in similar circumstances, this Court in W.P.No.31086 of 1998 by order dated 29.8.2000 directed the concerned authorities to consider the request of the petitioners therein to provide approach road in the government land. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the above said orders of this Court and their repeated requests, so far the respondents have not considered their request for providing approaching road to the house plots of the members of the petitioner society. It is further stated that they made several representations, the latest being 9.6.2008 to the respondents to consider their request for allotment of Ac.0.11 guntas of land in Sy.No.21 of Gopanpally Village at least on market value, which is being used by its members for approaching their house plots, but so far the said representation is also not considered and disposed of and on the other hand the authorities are preventing its members from using the said land as ‘kalibata’ for approaching their house plots. Even though this Court issued notice before admission on 28.7.2008 and granted time for ﬁling counter, no counter aﬃdavit is ﬁled by the respondents. In the circumstances, without any further delay, the Mandal Revenue Oﬃcer, 4 th respondent herein is directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 9.6.2008 and pass appropriate orders expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J Dt.25.8.2008 msv .....
