THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26345 of 2010 Dated 26th October, 2010 Between: Viyyapu Appalanarasamma and another …Petitioners And The District Collector, Visakhapatnam and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri K.B. Ramanna Dora Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for respondent Nos.4 and 5: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: The innocuous grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that their application filed under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short ‘the Act’) as far back as 1998 registered as M.C.No.327 of 1998 is not being disposed of by respondent No.3. As the interparty rights over the land are not being adjudicated in this writ petition, it is not necessary to issue notice to respondent Nos. 4 to 6. After hearing the leaned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, I am of the opinion that respondent No.3 shall dispose of the petitioners’ application referred to above, if not already done. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.3 to consider the petitioners’ application in accordance with the provisions of the Act and pass appropriate orders, after hearing the petitioners and respondent Nos.4 to 6, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.33644 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26th October, 2010 GHN
