THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 2352 of 2008 Date:07-02-2008 Between: Kumba Rama Kotaiah and five others .. PETITIONERS AND The Govt. of A.P. rep. by District Collector, Guntur and 10 others .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents 1 to 4 in assigning the park land meant for public purpose as house sites to the respondent Nos.5 to 11 in Sy.No.208 of Mulakaluri village, Narasaraopet taluq, Guntur District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is stated that the said land in Sy.No.208 of Mulakaluri village, Narasaraopet taluq, Guntur District is earmarked for the public purpose, but the park area is being allotted for the house sites. The petitioners have not made any application before the authority concerned. No doubt, the park lands, tank beds etc. cannot be assigned, but without making any such representation to the authority concerned, I am of the opinion that it may not be just and proper for this Court to interfere in the matter. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to make a representation to the authority concerned and approach the Court. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:07.02.2008 Ccm
