Heard Sri O.Manoher Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The learned counsel for the petitioner argued that the property in possession of the petitioner was assigned to his late father and after his death, he is in possession and enjoyment of the same. He further argued that the supporters of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) highhandedly occupied a portion of the said land and the petitioner made a representation to the District Collector, Prakasam District at Ongole on 28.01.2008 to provide necessary protection and to remove the encroachments and that so far, no action has been taken. Since the petitioner’s representation said to have been filed on 28.01.2008 is pending before the District Collector, Prakasam District, I refrain from going into the merits of the claim of the petitioner and the District Collector, Prakasam District at Ongole is directed to consider and take action on the representation said to have been filed by the petitioner on 28.01.2008 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.9408 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.
