THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 221 of 2008 Date:17-01-2008 Between: Katravath Sakri Bai and 9 others …Petitioners AND The District Collector, Guntur and four others .. Respondents ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents 1 and 2 in not passing orders on the representation made by the petitioners on 29.12.2007 and even earlier to grant pattas in respect of the lands under their cultivation for over several years situated in Balajinagar Thanda, hamlet of Gundlapalli, Nakrekal mandal, Guntur District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that they have made representation before the 1st respondent-District Collector, Guntur on 29.12.2007 by marking copies to the other respondents also for grant of DKT pattas. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to entitlement of the petitioners for assignment of land situated in Balajinagar Thanda, hamlet of Gundlapalli, Nakrekal mandal, Guntur District and also not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the petitioners are in possession of any extent of the land in or around Balajinagar Thanda, hamlet of Gundlapalli, Nakrekal mandal, Guntur District. But, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that, if any such representation is received and pending before the 1st respondent-District Collector, the first respondent-District Collector may consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:17.01.2008 ccm
