THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 1891 of 2008 Date:11-02-2008 Between: Bedala Akki Reddy .. PETITIONER AND The Secretary to Government, Department of Revenue (Assignment), Hyderabad and four others .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in proposing the land in Sy.No.61 to an extent of Ac.2.35 guntas situated at Jillelaguda village Saroornagar mandal, Ranga Reddy District for construction of houses under Rajiv Gruha Kalpa Programme, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that an extent of Acs.2.35 guntas in Sy.No.61 situated at Jillelaguda village Saroornagar mandal, Ranga Reddy District is a government land, but it is now in the occupation of the petitioner. It is stated that as per the orders of the Government in G.O.Ms.No.1601 Revenue, dated 29.08.2005, the petitioner made a representation before the Special Chief Secretary to Government and the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration on 25.08.2006 requesting the Government to regularize the dwelling houses on government lands situated in the said area and pursuant to the said representation, the second respondent requested the 3rd respondent-District Collector vide his letter in CCLA’s Ref.No.LP2/370/2006, dated 24.12.2007 to send a detailed report and inform the stage of land grabbing case in O.S.No.92 of 1989. It is the case of the petitioner that the second respondent repeatedly requested the 3rd respondent-Collector to send a report, but no report is being sent and in the meanwhile, the encroached land, which is in occupation of the petitioner, is sought to be allotted for the construction of the houses under Rajiv Gruhakalpa Programme by forcibly evicting the petitioner. The only grievance of the petitioner is that as long as the his representation, dated 25.08.2006 is pending, the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the said land. It is stated that if the petitioner is dispossessed from the said land even before the said representation of the petitioner is considered and disposed of, the said representation shall become infructuous. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent-Collector to send the report as per the repeated requests of the 2nd respondent-Chief Commissioner of Land Administration vide his letters in CCLA’s Rf.No.LP2/370/2006, dated 14.09.2006, 21.11.2006, 05.07.2007 and 24.12.2007 and until the said representation of the petitioner is disposed of by the 2nd respondent- Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, status-quo obtaining as on today with regard to the possession shall be maintained. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:11.02.2008 Ccm
