Subba Rao and another. .. Petitioners And Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapuram, E.G. District and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioners claim that the land in an extent of 0.15 cents in Sy.No.228 of Krishnavaram Village, Kirlampudi Mandal, East Godavari District, is a private land and it belongs to Sri Ramalaya and Gowri Devi Temple situated in Krishnavaram Village. It is their grievance that the respondents, without initiating any proceedings for acquisition of the subject land and without taking recourse to law, have been taking steps to construct an Anganwadi building in the subject land. Hence, they filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the respondents produced before this Court the para-wise remarks submitted by the 2nd respondent- Tahsildar, Kirlampudi Mandal, wherein, while denying the allegation of the petitioners that the subject land belongs to the temple, it is categorically stated that the subject land belongs to the Government and is being used by the villagers as Gramakhantam. It is further stated that, in the year 2008, there was a proposal to construct an Anganwadi building in the subject land, but the same did not materialize and at present there is no such proposal. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondents 3 and 4. Though the petitioners claim the subject land to be private land belonging to the temple, the 2nd respondent, in his para-wise remarks, referred above, categorically denied the same and contended that the subject land belongs to the Government and it is a Gramakantham. Be that as it may, the 2nd respondent has further categorically stated that at present there is no proposal to construct Anganwadi Building in the subject land. In view of this statement of the 2nd respondent, no orders need be passed in the present writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, placing on record the para-wise remarks of the 2nd respondent referred above. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 26th July, 2010 IBL
