Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.C.DAMODHAR REDDY Counsel for Respondents 1 to 3: GP FOR REVENUE The Court, at the stage of admission, made the following : ORDER The petitioner-Communist Party of India, Warangal City Council, Warangal District, filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to grant house pattas to its members as well as the second petitioner in respect of the land measuring Ac.4.06 guntas in Sy.No.82 known as Marrikunta Shicam Circari, situated at Warangal town. It is stated that since the land in question is available for house sites the petitioners said to have made representations to the respondents dated 22.9.2004 and on 27.9.2004 to provide house site pattas to their members. Complaining that no orders have been passed on the representations, this writ petition is filed. Admittedly, the first petitioner is a political party. A political party cannot file a writ petition seeking direction to the respondent authorities for providing house sites to its members. However, it is open for the petitioners to pursue their remedy with the appropriate Government politically. I see no reason to entertain the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________ A. GOPAL REDDY. J. 26th October, 2004 tsr.
