IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.16910 of 2009 Between: 1.Bollenani Srinivasa Rao, S/o.Venkateswarlu, 37 years, Hindu, D.No.40-10-7(3), Turpu Kammapalem, 3rd line, Ongole, Prakasam District and 7 others. ..... PETITIONERS AND 1.Ongole Muniipality, rep. by its Commissioner, Ongole, Prakasam District and 3 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: In this Writ Petition, the petitioners, who claim to have residential sites in Survey No.20 of Ongole Municipal limits, seek direction by way of Mandamus against the respondents to protect the public roads covered by Survey Nos.42 and 376 of Ongole, on an apprehension that the same would be assigned to third parties. Even according to the petitioner, there are no assignments granted yet. It is their case that there are public roads, which are in existence from times immemorial in Donka lands covered by Survey Nos.42 and 376 along Ongole Municipal Limits. Apprehending assignment thereof, they made representation to the fourth respondent on 30- 07-2009. In the absence of any further action taken thereon, they rushed to this Court. As of now, there is no cause to entertain this Writ Petition. In any event whether any roads existed in the lands covered by Survey Nos.42 and 376 along Ongole Municipal Limits is a matter, which is required to be considered by a competent authority before taking final decision for assignments. Therefore, I do not find any merit in this Writ Petition to grant the direction as prayed for. But, it is suffice to observe that as the petitioners have already made a representation to the fourth respondent, while granting assignments, if any, in Survey Nos.42 and 376, the respondents shall consider the same. Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. __________________ (R.Subhash Reddy, J) 18th August, 2009 lur
