She purchased the same under registered sale deed dated 11.11.2005. On the western side of her land there is statedly 60 feet road from Simhachalam to Vizianagaram. Between petitioner’s land and the road, vacant land admeasuring Ac.0.10 in survey No.465/1 appears to have been allotted to nine beneficiaries. Fourth respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) also identified 47 beneficiaries of Serikandam Village. Before they were allotted house sites, it appears that petitioner got over to purchase her land but there is no access to it due to allotment of houses to nine beneficiaries. The petitioner made representation to first respondent - District Collector to provide access to her land through poramboke land admeasuring Ac.0.10 identified for allotment to beneficiaries by MRO. District Collector by communication bearing P.No.1571/2008/PAGB dated 21.07.2008 issued instructions to second respondent, namely, District Manager, Housing, Visakhapatnam, to enquire into the contents of petitioner’s representation/petition and take necessary action. Petitioner complains that in spite of the same second respondent did not take any action nor passed any orders. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, after getting instructions, submits that as the matter is pending before second respondent, petitioner cannot have any grievance against District Collector. This Court has perused communication of District Collector addressed to second respondent referred to hereinabove. In said communication second respondent was requested to enquire into representation/petition submitted by petitioner within a period of week and intimate the action to petitioner. It is unfortunate that no action was taken. Therefore, this Court observes that second respondent may at least now look into representation/petition submitted by petitioner and take necessary action for providing way/passage in survey No.460/2 as directed by District Collector. This exercise may be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 11th December, 2008 Note: Issue CC by 15.12.2008 (B/o) GHN To 1 The District Collector, Visakhapatnam. 2 The District Manager, Housing, Visakhapatnam. 3 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam. 4 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Padmanabham Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. 5 2CCs to GP for Revenue 6 2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{MSN}
