He claims to be landless poor person. The Government allotted 250 square yards in plot No.1293 in a layout known as Baddam Yellareddy Nagar. He statedly erected a fence with stones and is in possession of the same. He made an application to Tahsildar, Sircilla, for patta for the said house site. He alleges that other persons who were included in the list of allotment were given pattas, but the matter is still pending with the Tahsildar insofar as the petitioner is concerned. Therefore, he filed the instant writ petition. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader does not dispute that the application of the petitioner dated 23.01.2008 is still pending with the Tahsildar. Therefore, this writ petition, without expressing any opinion on the right of the petitioner to claim such patta, is disposed of observing that the second respondent should pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the application is concerned, there shall be status quo. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 17.11.2008 vs To 1 The District Collector, Karimnagar District, Karimnagar. 2 The Tahsildar, Sircilla Mandal, Karimnagar District. 3 2CCs to G.P for Revenue, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. 4 2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{MSN}
