THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 18183 of 2007 Date:12-11-2007 Between: Ravula Pullaiah and 9 others …Petitioners AND The District Collector, Guntur and another .. Respondents ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents herein to grant house site pattas to them in Sy.Nos.10, 11/2B, 13 and 14 of Chinnaravuru village, Tenali Municipality, Guntur District. When the matter has been taken up for hearing on 29.10.2007, none appears for the petitioners and therefore, the matter was posted “for dismissal” today. Today also none appeared for the petitioners. In the counter filed by the respondents, it is stated that as per the instructions of government under various schemes, action is being taken to provide house site plots under Rajiv Gruha Kalpa, Indiramma House Scheme and under the said scheme, the applications of eligible poor persons have been considered and house sites have been allotted to them. Insofar as the land of an extent of Ac.15.00 cents covered by Sy.No.10 of Chinaravur village, Tenali mandal belonging to Endowment Department was acquired in the year 1992 for providing of house site pattas to poor families of weaker sections in Tenali town since the said land is situated nearer to Tenali town. The said land was divided into plots for the purpose of granting of house site pattas to eligible poor families and soon after finalisation of acquisition proceedings, house site pattas were granted to 165 beneficiaries in the year 1994. However, some of the tenants of the endowment land filed suits under Tenancy Act and as such there was some delay in finalizing the allotment/grant of remaining plots and subsequently the remaining plots were allotted to the eligible poor families in due course of time and as on today there are no plots unallotted or unoccupied and all the beneficiaries occupied their plots and are residing therein. In view of the averments made in the counter, the writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:12.11.2007 ccm
