THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1884 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners 1 and 2 state that they are in possession and enjoyment of Ac.1.50 cents and Ac.1.60 cents of land respectively in Survey No.680 of Kanupuru-I Village, Venkatachalam Mandal, Nellore District for the past three decades. It is stated that recognizing their possession, the then Mandal Revenue Officer granted permission vide proceedings, dated 14.03.1991, to the petitioners to enable them to cultivate the land for three Faslies. It is also stated that the petitioners are in continuous possession and enjoyment of the land and have submitted applications from the year 2005 onwards to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Nellore District, respondent No.3 herein, with a request to assign the land to them. Their grievance is that no steps have been taken so far and in the meanwhile, there is a threat of dispossession. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioners have placed before this Court, a copy of the proceedings, dated 14.03.1991, which enabled them to cultivate the land for three Faslies. This, prima facie, shows the recognition of possession of the petitioners over the land. In case they are otherwise entitled for being granted pattas, necessary steps be taken, particularly, when the Government itself is proclaiming that the assignment of lands to the deserving poor persons is one of its objects. An early disposal of the matter would remove the uncertainty. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.3 to pass appropriate orders on the applications submitted by petitioners 1 and 2 for grant of D.K.T. Pattas in respect of Ac.1.50 cents and Ac.1.60 cents of land respectively in Survey No.680 of Kanupuru-I Village, Venkatachalam Mandal, Nellore District, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 03.02.2010. kdl
