THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.11433 of 1995 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the proceedings of the 2nd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer in R.C.No.593 of 1994 dated 8.5.1995 directing the petitioner society to surrender land to an extent of Ac.28-43 cents allotted in Pothina Mallayyapalem and Madhurawada villages as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to finalise the assignment of total extent of Ac.63-50 cents of land in Pothina Mallayyapalem and Madhurawada villages of Visakhapatnam district in favour of petitioner society. It appears, petitioner society was allotted with total extent of Ac.63-50 cents of land in Pothina Mallayyapalem and Madhurawada villages of Visakhapatnam district for establishment of educational institutions. According to the petitioner, under a panchanama, petitioner society was put in possession of the said land and since then, it has been in continuous possession and enjoyment of the same without any interruption. While that being so, the impugned order dated 8.5.1995 has been passed by 2nd respondent directing the petitioner society to surrender an extent of Ac.28-43 cents of land which was not put to use by the society. Being aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. There is no necessity of going into all the details. It seems that the petitioner society has been corresponding with the Government and the officials at District level for fixing market value of the land for the purpose of finalizing assignment in its favour all along. On a representation made by petitioner society in this regard on 3.12.2003, Government issued proceedings dated 15.12.2003 requesting the District Collector, Visakhapatnam to furnish alienation proposals through the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration for taking further action in the matter. However, it appears that the District Collector has not acted upon on the said letter dated 15.12.2003. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to finalise alienation proposals in favour of petitioner society as per proceedings dated 15.12.2003 issued by Government and complete the process within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 29.7.2009 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.11433 of 1995 29.7.2009
