THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.28245 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the inaction of the respondents in issuing land conversion certificate, under Section 5 of A.P. Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non- agricultural Purpose) Act, 2006 in respect of land admeasuring Ac.3-00 cents in Sy.No.465/1F1 of Chilakalapudi, Machilipatnam, Krishna District pursuant to the petitioners’ application, as illegal and arbitrary. A consequential direction is sought to the 2nd respondent to issue land conversion certificate. It is not for this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to issue a mandamus to the 2nd respondent to issue land conversion certificate. All that can be done is to ask him to consider the petitioners’ application in accordance with law. Since the petitioners’ application for land conversion certificate is said to be pending for the past more than four months, I consider it appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioners’ application, in accordance with law, and pass orders thereupon within a period of two weeks from today. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. ____________ 21-11-2011 Note: Issue C.C. by 24.11.2011 B/o asp
