THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.15076 of 2005 27-7-2005 Between: Veeramallu Panduranga Vittal …Petitioner AND Government of A.P., Endowments Department & others. …Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.15076 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Govt. Pleader for Endowments, and Smt. N.Indrani, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the second respondent. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he executed lease deed for three years from 2004-05 to 2006-07, the impugned notice dated 13-5-2005 was issued calling upon him to hand over possession of the land stating that the Department has granted lease only for one year. Mr. S.Ramachandra Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even if the lease is taken as one year, since the lease was entered into on 28-9-2004, the petitioner is entitled to continue till 27-9-2005. I find substantial force in the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner till 27-9-2005 in view of the fact that admittedly the lease granted in his favour is for a period of one year. Needless to state that after expiry of the lease period of one year, it is open to the respondents to take such action as is available to them in law. ________________________ 27th July 2005.
