The Court at the stage of admission made the following: ORDER: The relief sought by the petitioners in this writ petition is to direct the respondents- authorities to accord permission of the 2nd respondent-District Level Committee to lift the sand from their 200 acres of agricultural patta lands situated at Rangapuram village, Palvoncha Mandal, Khammam District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents. At the time of hearing the writ petition, the petitioners submitted a material paper dated 17.11.2004 before this Court. A perusal of the said material paper shows that the petitioners made a representation to the 2nd respondent-District Level Committee, Khammam seeking permission to lift the sand from their respective agricultural fields and the Mandal Revenue Officer, Palvancha and the District Panchayat Officer, Khammam made endorsement thereon as “Please put up”. Therefore, it seems that the matter is under consideration before the 2nd respondent-District Level Committee, Khammam. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage itself with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation made by the petitioners in accordance with law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation made by the petitioners in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible. No costs. ________________ (N.V.
