THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.28057 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of the land to an extent of Acs.2.00 situated in Survey No.138 of Thippapur Village, Vemulawada Mandal, Karimnagar District having purchased the same under a registered sale deed in the year 2003. He states that his name was also entered in the revenue records in respect of the said land and even pattadar passbook was also issued. He states that when the third respondent-Gram Panchat tried to lay a road from the subject land touching Thippapur to Nampally road connecting the School, he filed W.P.No.19313 of 2005 and this Court, by order, dated 31.09.2005, disposed of the writ petition observing that till the subject land is acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the petitioner cannot be deprived of his right to enjoy his property. While so, it is the grievance of the petitioner that on 25.03.2004 he made an application seeking sanction of layout in terms of A.P.Gram Panchayat Land Development (Layout and Building) Rules, 2002 in respect of the subject land. But, however, the respondents have not taken any action so far, in spite of making similar representations on 20.10.2004 and 11.07.2005. Hence, the present writ petition. The first respondent, namely, the Director, Town Panning, Hyderabad, as well as the third respondent, namely, the Gram Panchayat, Thippapur, Vemulawada Mandal, Sircilla Division, Karimnagar District, filed separate counters in the matter denying the allegations made by the petitioner. It is categorically stated in their counters that the respondents have not received any application purported to have been made by the petitioner on 25.03.2004 and therefore, the question of not acting thereon does not arise. At the time of hearing also, the learned counsel for the petitioner has not produced any document to show that the petitioner has submitted the application as stated seeking sanction of the layout. In the circumstances, the learned counsel appearing for both the parties agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following direction: The petitioner is directed to make an application afresh seeking sanction of the layout in respect of the subject land. If any such application is made, the third respondent-Gram Panchat shall consider and forward the same to the first respondent, who in turn is directed to take action in the matter in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:30.03.2010 VGB
