The petitioner submits that in lieu of rehabilitation of the persons whose lands were submerged in Himayatsagar tank in the year 1927, the then Government distributed several land survey numbers of Himayatsagar village in favour of several ryots. It is further submitted that after construction of Himayatsagar Tank in lieu of rehabilitation, the Government distributed the land admeasuring Ac.4.11 guntas in Survey No.7 and Ac.7.34 guntas in Survey No.5 of Himayatsagar village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Rangareddy District in favour of his father and after demise of his father, he came into possession of the said lands and has been in continuous possession and enjoyment of the same by paying cist to the Government. The respondents herein assigned lands in favour of other occupants instead of assigning the said lands to the petitioner, which is against the principles of equity and natural justice. Therefore, the petitioner made an application on 30.04.1994 to the third respondent for assignment of land in his favour. But, the respondents are threatening to dispossess him from the land in question without considering his application. In the aforementioned circumstances, I consider it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to dispose of the representation of the petitioner submitted on 30.04.1994 within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the interim order granted by this Court on 06.12.1994 shall continue. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ 15th July, 2004 Nsr ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
