THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.N.RAO NALLA WRIT PETITION No.1157 of 2010 Dated:28.01.2010 Between: Indrasenaiah. …Petitioner and The District Collector, Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District, Nellore, And others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.N.RAO NALLA WRIT PETITION No.1157 of 2010 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) The petitioner is statedly an agriculturist of North Amulur Village in Pottisriramulu Nellore District. He is allegedly a social worker besides eking out livelihood as agriculturist. Feeling aggrieved by the proposed action of the District Collector to allot part of the land in Survey No.363 totally admeasuring Acs.400.00 to the persons belonging to the other Villages, he filed the instant Writ Petition invoking Public Interest Litigation (PIL) jurisdiction of this Court. He seeks a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in allotting land in Survey No.363 situated at North Amulur Village to other villagers as illegal and arbitrary. The case of the petitioner as disclosed in the affidavit accompanying the writ petition shows that the land admeasuring Acs.400.00 in Survey No.363 of North Amulur is a poramboke land. Red gravel is being quarried therein. This fetches an annual income of Rs.70,000/- to Rs.1,00,000/- to Village. In addition, 150 to 200 Yadava families allegedly use it as a grazing land. It is the petitioner’s allegation that the District Collector is now contemplating to allot this land to villagers of other areas ignoring the claims of 130 families belonging to the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe of North Amulur. According to the petitioner there is Acs.2000.00 of land in Survey No.461 in Allur Village. The Government ought to have taken the same into consideration instead of allotting the land in Survey No.363 in North Amulur. The petitioner’s grievance is that if the land of North Amulur is allotted to other persons or is leased out to IFFCO, the same would deprive the residents of North Amulur of their right to get it allotted to them or graze their cattle. This Court heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material placed before this Court. It is not the case of the petitioner that the villagers of North Amulur applied to revenue authorities for allotment of land in question either for residential purpose or grazing land. Admittedly, it is the poramboke land, and therefore, it vests in the State. It is for the Government of Andhra Pradesh and its Officials to utilize the poramboke land the way it is best suited in accordance with the Board Standing Orders. The petitioner, who is resident of North Amulur Village, and admittedly did not seek the allotment, cannot prevent the revenue authorities from acting in accordance with Board Standing Orders. Further a perusal of paragraph 5 of the affidavit would show that when the District Collector is trying to allot these lands to the public belonging to the Allur Village he filed the instant writ petition. Nothing prevents him to obtain orders from the revenue authorities and challenge them before appropriate higher authority. A writ petition without giving details and making all vague allegations cannot be entertained. The Writ Petition, for the above reasons, is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) ________________ (B.N.RAO NALLA, J) 28.01.2010 vs
