Accordingly, he made a representation, dated 16-01-2008, before the 3rd respondent for assignment of the land admeasuring Ac.10-00 cents in Sy.No.542 of Kolthur Village, Shameerpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. But, so far, the said representation has not been considered and disposed of. On instructions, learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents submits that the land admeasuring Ac.363-00 gts. in Sy.No.542 situated at Kolthur Village is a Government land and an extent of Ac.71-00 gts. was alienated to I.C.I.C.I. Limited and an extent of Ac.297-00 gts. was allotted to A.P.I.I.C. Limited, which in turn allotted to Bio-Tech Park. No Government land is available in Sy.No.542 of Kolthur Village. However, the Government in G.O.Ms.No.185, dated 11-03-1997, imposed ban for assignment of the agricultural lands in Ranga Reddy District. Therefore, the represetation of the petitioner cannot be considered. The representation of the petitioner is only for allotment of the Government land in Sy.No.542 of Kolthur Village, Shameerpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. But, however, in view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that the relief claimed by the petitioner cannot be considered. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to make fresh application for allotment of Government land, wherever ban orders are not applicable. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 21-02-2008 Prv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{RLD}
