THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.678 of 2008 DATED: 10.06.2010 Between: P. Ayyavaramma and another .. Petitioners And Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Hyderabad, and others .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioners are aggrieved by the notification dated 16.10.2007 issued by the 3rd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa, whereunder the assigned lands indicated therein were declared to have been acquired for public purpose and the D-Form Patta holders were required to produce the relevant documents before the 3rd respondent for the purpose of receiving ex-gratia. Petitioners state that the lands owned by them in various extents in Sy.Nos.1027/5, 1027/6A, 1164 and 1165 of Ukkayapalli Village, Kadapa Mandal and District, which are patta lands, were notified in the said notification dated 16.10.2007 as assigned lands. They further state that though it was indicated in the impugned notification that notices were issued to the interested persons calling for their objections to the acquisition proceedings, no such notices were issued to them, but however, having come to know that their lands were also proposed to be acquired treating them assigned lands, they submitted their objections to the 4th respondent- Tahsildar on 22.06.2007, stating that their lands are not assigned lands, but without considering the same and passing any orders thereon, the impugned notification was issued and pursuant thereto, the 4th respondent has been taking steps to dispossess them from the subject lands. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners filed an appeal in Appeal No.E/1876/007 before the 3rd respondent and it is the grievance of the petitioners that, while the said appeal is pending, the respondents are trying to dispossess them from the subject lands and destroy the standing crop therein. The writ petition was admitted on 01.04.2008 and status quo obtaining as on that date was directed to be maintained by the parties. The respondents have not filed counter-affidavit so far. However, when the matter is taken up for consideration today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Assignment appearing for the respondents, on instructions, submits that the statutory appeal preferred by the petitioners as against the impugned notification was dismissed. In view of the said submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, no further orders need be passed in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed, placing on record the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Assignment. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V.
