THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.25159 OF 2005 DATED:8.12.2005 Between: Garibi Hataow General Labour Welfare Association …Petitioner And The District Collector Medak District, At Sangareddy and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.25159 OF 2005 ORDER: Garibi Hataow General Labour Welfare Association, represented by its President, challenges the action of the respondents in not granting pattas to the members of the petitioner association for the purpose of house sites in spite of making representations. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to allot house sites in respect of the land comprised in S.No.993 of Amenpur Village in Medak District. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) submits that the land in S.No.993 of Amenpur Village is not fit for house sites, as a large chunk of the land to the extent of seventy percent is covered by hillocks and boulders and is not viable piece of land for construction of houses. It is also submitted that as a policy, the Government has imposed ban for assignment of land for house sites in Hyderabad Urban Agglomeration, and the Government Order relied on by the petitioner has no application. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the policy of the Government insofar as the assignment of house sites is concerned in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Therefore, alternatively, he submits that suitable land beyond agglomeration may be identified to enable the members of the petitioner association to seek house site pattas. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this Court is of considered opinion that the request of the petitioner association may be considered by the revenue authorities in accordance with the guidelines for assignment of house sites after conducting socio economic survey of the members of the petitioner association. As such exercise involves a lengthy procedure and consumes time, this Court is not inclined to fix any time limit. Liberty is given to the petitioner to pursue the matter with the revenue authorities. The Writ Petition with the above observations and directions is accordingly disposed of. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 8.12.2005 bnr
