Justice T.Meena Kumari ) Aggrieved by the order, dated 25.11.2008 made in WP No.13057 of 2008 by a learned Single Judge of this court giving liberty to the petitioner to approach the Government for withdrawing the abeyance order issued in Memo No.23063/Assign.IV(1) dated 6.5.2008 whereby the District Collector, Medak, was directed to keep the order in GO Ms. No. 590 dated 11.4.2008, allotting Ac.8.02 guntas in Sy. No. 80/1PP at Narsapur village, Medak district in favour of the appellant, in abeyance, the writ petitioner preferred this Appeal. The appellant is a body came that came into existence with the object of propagating vedic knowledge, moral values, auyurved, yoga and meditation. Earlier it was allotted an extent of Ac.3.38 guntas in Sy. No. 80/1PP situated at Narsapur village on payment of market value of Rs.13,000/- per acre. In view of the request of the appellant, the Government issued GO Ms. No. 590 Revenue (Assignment IV) Department dated 11.4.2008 alienating Ac.8.02 guntas in Sy.No. 80/1PP at Narsapur village on the same market value. Since the appellant was not delivered possession, the writ petition was filed. The allotment of land to the appellant twice is not denied by the respondents, but it is their case that in view of Memo No.23063/Assign.IV(1) dated 6.5.2008, the order in GO Ms. No. 590 dated 11.4.2008 is kept in abeyance. The learned Single Judge while disposing of the writ petition has directed the appellant to approach the Government with a request to withdraw Memo dated 6.5.2008, keeping the orders passed in GO Ms. No. 590 dated 11.4.2005 in abeyance, under which an extent of Ac.8.02 guntas of land in Sy. No. 80/1PP was alienated and the second respondent was directed to take further necessary action for payment of cost and matters related therewith. Aggrieved thereby, the writ petitioner preferred this Writ Appeal inter alia contending that the purpose for which the appellant was allotted the land is a better public purpose and that the appellant has already paid cost of the land and, therefore, the very same land cannot be allotted for another purpose. The learned counsel for the appellant has raised more or less the same contentions that were raised before the learned Single Judge to the effect that the Government ought not to have kept the allotment order in abeyance. It is further contended that since the amount has already been paid and at the time of handing over possession, the Memo has been issued, there is every likelihood of allotment of the same land to any third person. Under the above circumstances, we direct the appellant to make representation, if not already made, to the first respondent, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order to revoke the abeyance order dated 6.5.2008 issued by the second respondent. As and when such representation is made, the same shall be disposed of within a period of eight weeks thereafter, in accordance with law. In the meanwhile, there shall be no allotment/alienation of the said land. With the above direction, the Writ Appeal is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ Justice T.
