THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.11633 OF 2010 Dated 20th May, 2010 Between: Mallavarapu Satyanarayana …Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh rep. By its District Collector and two others …Respondents The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by Mallavarapu Satyanarayana assailing the notice dated 05.03.2010 issued by the Tahsildar, Nidadavolu Mandal, West Godavari District – the third respondent directing him to pay conversion fee and penalty in respect of Ac.0.50 cents and Ac.0.25 cents covered by Survey Nos.6/1C and 5/1 of Timmarajupalem Village. The petitioner claims to be the owner of Ac.0.50 cents and Ac.0.25 cents respectively comprised in Survey Nos.6/1C and 5/1 of Timmarajupalem Village. The third respondent issued notice dated 05.03.2010 directing the petitioner to pay the penalty along with conversion fees under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non-Agricultural Purposes) Act, 2006. The petitioner submitted explanation dated 24.04.2010. Since the third respondent has not passed final orders after receipt of the explanation, the petitioner approached this Court invoking jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that he submitted explanation to the notice dated 05.03.2010 and thereafter no orders have been passed by the authorities. Such is the situation, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the third respondent to consider the explanation dated 24.04.2010 submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ______________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J Dated 20th May, 2010 vrn
