Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.KRISHNA MURTHY ATTIVILLI Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Perused the material placed before me. Aggrieved by the inaction of the respondent in considering his representation dated 30-9-2004, seeking lease, petitioner filed this writ petition. The grievance of the petitioner is that some time back he made a representation to the respondent to allot Ac.1.28 of land in Sy. No. 589 of Suntulapur village, to the trust founded by him, on lease. It appears, due to pendency of litigation, nothing could be proceeded further in that matter. Subsequently, the litigation was cleared and the land was held to be the land belongs to the temple. Therefore, the petitioner renewed his request by way of a representation dated 30-9- 2004, seeking grant of lease of the said land in favour of the trust. But the respondent has not initiated any action on the representation submitted by him. Heard the learned Government pleader for Endowments. Having regard to the averments and the respective contentions, suffice it to close the writ petition, a direction need be given to the respondent to consider the representation dated 30-9-2004, said to have been made by the petitioner seeking lease, in respect of the land in question which belongs to the temple, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ---------------------------- kvsn 10-03-2005 To 1.
