THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 13243 OF 2011 ORDER : Heard both sides. Both the counsel stated that this matter is squarely covered by a Common Order dated 22.9.2008 of a learned single judge of this Court in Writ Petition Nos. 26098 of 2000 and batch, which reads as follows: “At the hearing, Sri B.V.Rama Mohan Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners placed before me a copy of G.O.Ms.No.44, dated 11.01.2008, a perusal of which shows that the proposals sent by the District Collector, Visakhapatnam, to accept the recommendations of the House Committee were accepted and G.O.Ms.No.7, Revenue, dated 04.01.2003 was modified subject to the conditions contained in (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph 8 of the G.O. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that as this G.O. relates to all the lands situated in Gajuwaka including the lands in respect of which the petitioners are claiming their rights, the petitioners are willing to approach the respondents for regularisation in terms of the said G.O., instead of pursuing these writ petitions. In view of this submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, the writ petitions are disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach the Officer concerned within a period of eight (8) weeks from today for regularisation of their occupation in terms of G.O.Ms.No.44. If such applications are received, the competent authority shall dispose of the same expeditiously. Till disposal of the petitioners’ applications, if made within the above-stipulated time, their possession shall not be interfered with.” The claim of the petitioners herein is that they shall be declared as lawful owners and possessors of the lands in their respective occupation in Survey No.86 of Gajuwaka Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, by virtue of the purported pattas granted in their favour. Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of in terms of the aforesaid judgment. No costs. --------------------- 29.12.2011 (K.C.Bhanu, J.)
