THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22112 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri A.V.Sivaiah, Learned Counsel for the petitioners, and Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) and, at their request, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. Petitioners, two in number, claim to be in possession of Ac.0.12 cents of land in Sy.No.2235 of Ramadasu Sathram Village, Venkatachalam Mandal, Nellore District. This land is claimed to be in their possession for more than 50 years. The total extent of land in Sy.No.2235 is Ac.14.13 cents. It is the petitioners’ case that they have constructed their houses thereupon; their houses have been assessed to tax; they are landless poor; and, they satisfy the requirements thereof under the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, (for short 'Act 9 of 1977'). Apprehending dispossession, and demolition of their houses, they have invoked the jurisdiction of this Court. It is not for this Court, in exercise of jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, to examine whether the petitioners satisfy the requirements of being landless poor as stipulated under Act 9 of 1977. This is a matter which the third respondent is required to determine. Since the petitioners’ claim to have submitted a representation in this regard on 06.07.2011, I consider it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the third respondent to consider their claim, for grant of house site pattas, strictly in accordance with the provisions of Act 9 of 1977. The exercise of consideration culminating in an order being passed shall be completed within a period of four weeks from today. Pending consideration, the petitioners’ shall not be dispossessed. It is made clear that, on orders being passed on the petitioners’ representation, and in case the respondents consider it necessary to dispossess the petitioners, this order shall not preclude them from taking action to evict the petitioners from the government lands in question thereafter strictly in accordance with law. The Writ Petition stands disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:08.08.2011 Note:Furnish copy in one week bo usd
