THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 18785 OF 2011 O R D E R : This Writ Petition has been instituted seeking a direction to the 1st respondent State Government to dispose of forthwith application No. 45231, dated 13.06.2008 of the petitioner submitted in terms of G.O.Ms.No. 166 Revenue (Assn. POT) Department, dated 16.02.2008. The case of the petitioner is that he submitted application No. 45231 on 13.06.2008 seeking transfer of rights in land of an extent of 675 square yards including premises No. 2-5-37 (old No. 3-6) situate in Survey No. 36 at Chintalmet, Upperpally Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District in terms of the orders passed by the State Government in their G.O.Ms.No. 166 Revenue (Assn. POT) Department, dated 16.02.2008. It is asserted that the father of the petitioner purchased the land of an extent of 675 square yards under an un-registered sale deed, dated 08.01.1970 from one Sri S. Sattaiah, but however, he could not get the said sale deed registered. It is further asserted that the father of the petitioner has got constructed a two room tenement over a portion of the said land and when the 4th respondent Mandal Revenue Officer, Rajendranagar threatened to dispossess them from the said property, the petitioner has filed civil suit O.S.No. 783 of 2001 on the file of the V Additional Senior Civil Judge’s Court (FTC), Ranga Reddy District seeking declaration of his title and for perpetual injunction to restrain the defendants therein from interfering with his possession of the said property. It is stated that the said suit was ultimately dismissed by the decree and judgment dated 06.06.2006 and the petitioner has carried the matter by way of an appeal A.S.No. 174 of 2006 on the file of the I Additional District Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar and the said appeal is still pending. It is further pointed out that pending the said Appeal, an order was granted by the appellate Court in I.A.No. 1213 of 2006 directing the parties to maintain the status quo. However, on the ground that the State Government has taken a policy decision and announced the same through G.O.Ms.No. 166 Revenue (Assn. POT) Department, dated 16.02.2008 providing for transfer of rights to occupants of certain categories of un-assigned government lands the structure situated thereon, on payment of basis, the petitioner filed the application bearing No. 45231 on 13.06.2008. It is further stated that he also filed an affidavit undertaking to withdraw the appeal A.S.No. 174 of 2006 pending on the file of the I Additional District Judge, Ranga Reddy District. Since application No. 45231 of the petitioner has not been taken up for consideration so far, in spite of three years time elapsing, the present Writ Petition came to be instituted. On 09.12.2011, this Court directed the State Level Committee to take up the application of the petitioner immediately and consider the same. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue has brought to my notice today that the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration and Special Chief Secretary to the Government of Andhra Pradesh has sent up a communication on 24.12.2011 for consideration of the State Government. It is stated therein that the State Level Regularization Committee, at its meeting held on 23.12.2011 at 11.30 a.m., has taken up for consideration the proposal submitted by the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District for regularizing the land of an extent of only 34 square yards, taking into account the built up area and documentary evidence. It is proposed by the Collector, Ranga Reddy District that there is no evidence of possession of the appurtenant area beyond 34 square yards by the petitioner. In those set of circumstances, the District Collector has recommended for regularization of the possession of the petitioner over land of an extent of 34 square yards only situate in Survey No. 36 of Upperpally Village at twice the value of the basic rate of Rs.990/- per square yard as of 31.12.2003. It is further brought out that the State Level Regularization Committee agreed, in principle, the proposal of the District Collector and consequently, recommended to the government to regularize possession of the petitioner over an extent of 34 square yards, subject to payment of Rs.81,626/-. The entire file has since been transmitted by the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration for consideration of the State Government on 24.12.2011. The communication of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, dated 24.12.2011 sent up to the State Government, a copy of which has been placed before me by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, is taken on record. In view of the recommendation of the State Level Regularization Committee, I hope and trust that the government would pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 30th December 2011 ksld
