IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THRUSDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, TWO THOUSAND TEN PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10657 of 2002 Between: Smt. Potual Narsamma … Petitioner And The Collector, Mahabubnagar District, Mahabubnagar & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri M. Damoder Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue (Assignment) This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10657 of 2002 ORDER:- In this writ petition, the sole grievance of the petitioner is that her representation dated 01.09.2001 received on 30.10.2001 by the respondents for assignment of land admeasuring Ac.5.00 in Sy.No.88 of Bekkam Village, Veepangandla Mandal, Mahabubnagar District has not received the attention it deserves from the respondents and is kept in the cold storage. In the manner in which the writ petition is proposed to be disposed of, it is not necessary to refer to the facts narrated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. It will suffice to note that after dismissal of the suit filed by the petitioner for declaration of her title and the appeal filed there against, the petitioner is stated to have given the abovementioned representation for assignment of the land treating her as a landless poor person. No counter affidavit is filed by the respondents. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) is unable to state whether the representation of the petitioner has been disposed of or not. When a representation for assignment of land is made, it is incumbent upon the competent authority to dispose of the same. If the petitioner is found not eligible, it is open to the respondents to reject her representation by giving proper reasons. As the respondents failed to do so, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to dispose of the petitioner’s representation, if any received by him by passing appropriate order within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. _____________________________ C.V.
