The second respondent, based on the representation dated 20-07-2009 submitted by the petitioner, sought approval of the first respondent for alienating the land covered by Sy.Nos.83/1, 83/2 and 363 admeasuring Ac.1.21 guntas, Ac.17.22 guntas and Ac.2.00 guntas respectively, situated at Mogiligidda, belonging to the third respondent- Temple. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Endowments for respondents 1 and 2 and also learned counsel appearing on behalf of the third respondent-Temple. On instructions, it is submitted by learned Government Pleader for respondents 1 and 2 that after receipt of proposals from the second respondent, further information is sought by the first respondent, so as to consider the same and take appropriate decision. Whether alienation of the lands in question is in the interest of the third respondent-Temple or not is a matter, which has to be considered by the first respondent, while granting approval for such alienation. As much as it is stated that no orders are passed by the first respondent on the proposals sent by the second respondent on 05-09-2009, I dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent, Commissioner of Endowments, to take a decision as regards the proposed approval of alienation of the land in question and pass appropriate orders, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from today.
