HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P. No. 7070 of 2011 DATED:18.03.2011 Between: K. Adilakshmamma and three others .. Petitioners And The District Collector & Magistrate and two others .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioners assert that they have been in possession and enjoyment of a total extent of Ac.03.00 cents of land in Sy.Nos.1550 and 1564 situated in Vinjamuru village and Mandal, Nellore District for the last 30 years. While so, it is stated that they have made representations dated 18.03.2004 and 07.04.2010 to respondent Nos.1 and 2 for issuance of pattas in their favour. Now, the petitioners’ grievance is that the official respondents have neither considered their representations nor granted pattas in their favour so far. Hence, the petitioners have filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that no enquiry was conducted by the Village Administrative Officer. He has further submitted that the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, without following the due process of law, is trying to interfere with the possession of the petitioners over the lands in question. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The 1st respondent-District Collector is directed to consider the representations dated 18.03.2004 and 07.04.2010 made by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Meanwhile, the petitioners shall not be dispossessed from the lands in question except by due process of law.” Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 18.03.2011 Note: Furnish copy in a week B/o bcj
