Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.G.L.NAGESWAR RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : Order: This writ petition is filed by the petitioners seeking consideration of their representation for assignment of land in Sy.No. 456/3, 457/3, 474/5, 474/3 situated at Thurpu Rompidodla Village, Varikuntapalem Mandal, Nellore District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for hearing at the admission stage itself. It is the case of the petitioners that they are in possession and enjoyment of various extents of Government Land for the past so many years and now it is proposed by the Government to assign the said lands to landless poor persons and since they are also fully eligible for assignment of land and also in possession of the said land by doing cultivation for the past so many years, they made a representation to the 2nd respondent on 31.3.2008 to consider their case for assignment of the said land. Their grievance is that without disposing of their representations, the authorities are trying to dispossess them from the subject matter of lands. Since the petitioners have already submitted their representations seeking assignment of the land, it is for the respondent authorities to consider their case and assign the lands, if they are found eligible for such assignment. Therefore, without going into the merits of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the representations of the petitioners dated 31.3.2008 in accordance with law expeditiously. With the above direction the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.12.6.2008 msv .....
