The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition No.18660 of 2010 Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioner seeks declaration, by way of Mandamus, that the action of the respondents in cancelling the lease of land admeasuring Ac.5-00 in R.S.No.467 of Mallavaram Village of Gollaprolu Mandal, East Godavari District, granted in his favour, as illegal and arbitrary. On written instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents that the petitioner, who is an ex-service man, was granted eksal lease in respect of the aforesaid land during the fasli 1396 in the year 1987 and that the same was renewed from time to time up to 10-08-1995 and that after lapse of thirteen years, the lease was again renewed for the faslies 1410 to 1422, contrary to the orders passed by the Supreme Court. It is further submitted that the petitioner’s application for renewal of lease was rejected as the land in question is classified as tank poramboke. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue representing the respondents, and having perused the entire material available on record, it is to be seen that the lease originally granted in favour of the petitioner was only for a period of one year and the same was extended from time to time. As of now, there no lease existing in favour of the petitioner. Although it is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner’s application for grant of patta in respect of the land in question is pending, in view of the classification of the said land as tank poramboke, no directions for grant of patta in respect of the very same land can also be given. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in this Writ Petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Date: 17th August, 2010 lur
