THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12145 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed questioning notice, dated 14.06.2008 issued by the second respondent to auction the leasehold rights of land admeasuring Acs.10.36 cents covered by D.Nos.4 to 7 belonging to Sri Yedavalli Chowltry, an institution covered by the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioner questioned the impugned auction notice mainly on the ground that he is a landless poor person and though he has filed application for recognition and determination as a landless poor person to avail the benefits under Section 82 of the Act, without considering such application, the impugned notice is issued. The application was filed by the petitioner before the third respondent – Assistant Commissioner, Endowments Department, Guntur, for recognition as a landless poor person to avail the benefits under Section 82 of the Act and the same was dismissed, as against which, appeal was preferred. When the appellate authority disposed of the matter, without giving proper notice, earlier, the petitioner approached this Court and filed Writ Petition No.5075 of 2006, which in turn, was allowed by order, dated 27.03.2006, by remitting the matter for fresh consideration by the appellate authority. When the matter is taken up today, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent produced before this Court a copy of order, dated 27.10.2007 passed by the first respondent – Regional Joint Commissioner, Endowments Department, Multizone-II, Tirupati, Chittoor District, rejecting the appeal preferred by the petitioner by recording a finding that the petitioner is not a landless poor person and he is in possession of lands exceeding the limits prescribed to a landless poor person as per the provisions of the Act. It is to be noticed that the impugned auction notice itself is issued inviting bids for a period of three (3) years, which term is also expired. In view of expiry of the term of three (3) years, for which, the auction notice is issued, and in view of rejection of the application filed by the petitioner before the third respondent for determination as a landless poor person and further, rejection of appeal preferred by the petitioner before the first respondent in Appeal No.8 of 2004, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 26th AUGUST, 2011. kvni
