At the hearing, learned Government Pleader produced before the Court a copy of letter dated 14.12.2004 sent to her by Sri K.S.Rama Rao, the then Mandal Revenue Officer, Garladinne. The relevant extracts of that letter are reproduced below. “I invite kind attention to the references cited. Before offering parawise remarks, I submit that the present status and enquiry report of this case for favour of perusal. This is revision petition filed by Sri Golla Srinivasulu S/o Late Papanna of Kanampalli village in Garladinne Mandal vide W.P.No.14584/96, A.P., High Court. In this connection, the Mandal Revenue Inspector-II, Garladinne to whom the matter was referred for enquiry, has enquired and reported that one Sri Golla Srinivasulu S/o Late Papanna of Kanampalli village in Garladinne Mandal has filed a Writ Petition for assignment of land in S.No.283-3 Extent 2.50 Acres and S.No.276-4 Extent 2.50 Acres of Kanampalli village. Sri Golla Srinivasulu S/o Papana has not cultivated the land in S.No.283-3 Extent 2.50 Acres in Kanampalli village. He has cultivated the land in S.No.276-4 Extent 2.50 Acres only last before 5 years. There is a dispute over the lands between the petitioner and one Sri A.Narayana swamy of Kanampalli village. The dispute was settled before the village elders and Sri Golla Srinivasulu S/o Late Papanna was assigned an extent of 2.50 Acres in S.No.274 of Kanampalli village. He has been cultivating the land for the last 5 years. More over the respondent Sri A.Narayana Swamy was died recently. Further, I submit that, the petitioner Sri Golla Srinivasulu S/o Late Papanna of Kanampalli village has also consented to withdraw the W.P.14584/96 from the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. The Panchayat Secretary and some other respectable ryots of Kanampalli village have also consented and stated that the dispute was already settled in the village. In view of the above circumstances, I submit that, no further action is necessary in this matter as the dispute was settled, and the petitioner has gave written statement before the Mandal Revenue Inspector-II Garladinne to withdraw the W.P.No.14584/96 from the Hon’ble High Court, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. Hence, I request that the case may be dropped. The entire record of enquiry conducted by the Mandal Revenue Inspector-II Garladinne is enclosed herewith for perusal.” Since the competent authority has already assigned Ac.2.50 cents of land to the petitioner in S.No.274 of Kanampally village and he has been cultivating the same for the last more than five years and has also given an undertaking to withdraw the writ petition, this petition is disposed of as infructuous.
