THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.4686 of 2002 09.9.2009 Between: Navachaitanya Mahila Society, represented by its President, Smt.A.Bhagyamma And another … Petitioners and The Mandal Revenue Officer, Malkajgiri Mandal And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.4686 of 2002 ORDER: Navachaitanya Mahila Society and Prathibha Mahila Mandali filed instant writ petition seeking a direction to respondents to issue patta certificates of house sites to beneficiaries as shown in Annexure- A of writ petition. Petitioners seek such assignment in the land comprised in survey No.377 of Alwal Village of Malkajgiri Mandal in Ranga Reddy District. It is the case of petitioner societies that respondents conducted socio-economic survey for allotment of house sites in survey No.377. A list of eligible persons was prepared and such list is appended as Annexure-A to writ petition. In spite of several representations made by petitioners, patta certificates were not issued, and therefore, they filed instant writ petition. First respondent filed counter affidavit on behalf of respondents. It is stated that land in survey No.377 admeasuring Acs.3.30 guntas of Alwal village is classified as ‘Poramboke Sarkari’. Dalitha Vimochana Sangam, Bharateeya Welfare Association, Venkateswara Association and Social Welfare Workers Society have approached Government for allotment of house site pattas. There are only 108 plots available. Therefore 98 persons out of 919 persons were selected and proposals were submitted to Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO). Subsequently these proposals were cancelled. RDO by letter dated 22.2.1999 requested the Mandal Revenue Officer to reexamine the case and send proposals selecting persons from local area. In the mean while, Railway authorities removed huts, in December 2000, erected by poor labourers from Mahaboobnagar. District Collector and RDO visited area and instructed to rehabilitate these poor families in Government land in survey No.377. Accordingly 162 families, who were evicted from Railway property, were rehabilitated in survey No.377. In view of this, there is no land available in survey No.377 for issue of house site pattas to the members of petitioner societies. Petitioners have not filed reply affidavit denying counter averments but in view of uncontraverted counter averments, it becomes clear that no land is available in survey No.377 and that the same was allotted to 162 families, who were evicted from Railway property in December 2000. Petitioners therefore may approach the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, for assignment of house sites in favour of members of petitioners, in which event, the same shall be considered by respondents 1, 2 and 3 in accordance with current house site assignment policy of State of Andhra Pradesh. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) September 09, 2009 YS
