With their consent, the Writ Petition is disposed of at this stage. This Writ Petition was entertained by this Court on the basis of a letter received by Hon’ble the Chief Justice on 10th November, 2006. The grievance of the petitioner as projected in the letter is that the tribal lands are being occupied by the non-tribals, and as such, the non-tribals should be evicted from the lands belonging to the tribals in accordance with law. This Court through series of orders directed the respondent-authorities to proceed in the matter in accordance with law. On 07-11-2007, we have examined the reports submitted by the fourth respondent-District Collector from time to time and according to the learned Government Pleader, 1222 cases were pending. Therefore, the fourth respondent- District Collector was directed to specify the time frame in which these 1222 cases could be disposed of. Now, in his latest affidavit dated 11th November, 2007, the fourth respondent-District Collector has given the time frame and he hopes to finish certain cases within a period of two months, certain cases within a period of six months, certain cases within a period of six to eight months and certain cases within a period of one year. We take the maximum time of one year sought by the fourth respondent-District Collector for disposal of 600 cases pending before the Additional Agent to the Government at Bhadrachalam and direct that all the 1222 cases shall be disposed of within a period of one year from today. It is made clear that any violation of this order shall be taken seriously by this Court and the fourth respondent-District Collector shall be held personally responsible because this Court has been very liberal in granting time to dispose of the matters. Since this Court is granting one year time even in those cases in which only two months time is sought, no application for extension of time shall be entertained by the Registry and the dead line fixed cannot be changed. With these directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________________ (Bilal Nazki, A.C.J) Dated 15th November, 2007 _______________________ (Ramesh Ranganathan, J) lur
