THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.2749 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have acquired property of an extent of 1050 square yards in different survey numbers of Gofoornagar Village, Seri Lingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, through sale deed, dated 02.08.2000. The case of the petitioner is that when he submitted an application seeking permission to develop the property, the 1st respondent refused to receive the same on the ground a telephonic message was received from the 2nd respondent directing that the application be not received. The petitioner feels aggrieved, seeks directions to the 1st respondent to receive the application, and to process it. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. It is only the oral assertion of the petitioner that the 1st respondent refused to receive the application submitted by him on the message received from the 2nd respondent. The petitioner could have submitted the application through other means, such as registered post, in stead of handing it over personally. Be that as it may, the 2nd respondent had a say in the matter when the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (for short ‘the Act’), was in force. The Act has since been repealed in so far as it pertains to State of Andhra Pradesh in the recent past. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to make his efforts afresh, for development of the property in accordance with law. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.03.02.2011. GJ
