THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO : 12940 of 2005 Dated 11-08-2005 Between: K. Subramanyeswara Rao. ..... PETITIONER AND The principal Secretary to Government Revenue (Endowments IV) Department and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No: 12940 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner, who is the Chairman of the Trust Board of Sri Venugopala Swamy Vari Temple, Uppaluru Village, Kankipadu Mandal, Krishna District, questions the order of the first respondent dated 16-05-2005, whereby, the auction of the lands belonging to Sri Venugopala Swamy Vari Temple, Uppaluru Village, Kankipadu Mandal, Krishna District, to be held on 17-05-2005, was directed to be stayed. Learned Government Pleader places before this court a copy of Memo No.22712/Endts.IV(1)/2005-4, dated 23-07-2005, whereby, the Government, after careful examination of the matter, reviewed the matter and observed that as per Section 82(1) of the Act 30/87, any lease of agricultural land of any Temple by any person other than land less poor person, stands cancelled, that as the total land held on lease was more than Ac.9-00 cts., the petitioner, Smt.K.Jayamma could not be considered as landless poor person and hence the lease of land had to be granted by way of Public Auction only. In the circumstances, the stay granted earlier in Memo dated 16-05-2005 was withdrawn. Since the impugned order dated 16-05-2005 has been withdrawn by the Government, vide Memo dated 23-07-2005, a copy of which is furnished by the Government Pleader and is taken on record, the cause in the writ petition does not survive and the writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date: 11-08-2005 Prv
