Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.P.PURUSHOTHAM REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the stage of admission made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering the representation dated 24-12-2004 as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioners claimed that they are all freedom fighters and as such entitled for assignment of Government poramboke land. It is stated that they made a representation on 24-12-2004 requesting the first respondent-Chief Secretary to Government to assign the land in Sy.No.1/1 situated at Budharaopet Village, Khanapuram Mandal, Warangal District. The only grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that the request for assignment on their representation dated 24-12- 2004 has not been considered and no orders have been passed by the first respondent, so far. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioners for grant of assignment as sought for, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 24-12-2004 and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ G.
