Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.J.KANAKAIAH Counsel for the Respondents: G.P. for Assignment. The Court Made the Following : ORDER Heard both sides. The only grievance of the petitioner, a defence person, is that the respondents are not considering his claim for assignment of land in an extent of AC.5.00 in S.No.132/1 of Vattinagulapally village, Serilingamppally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The learned Government Pleader submits that since there is a prohibition as per G.O.Ms.No.1122 dated 29.06.1961 for assignment of land, the claim of the petitioner for assignment, cannot be considered. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, I find no reason to entertain this writ petition. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. However, this order may not preclude the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner for assignment of land, if available. _______________ 2nd July 2004 BJ/Glv To 1 The Secretary,Revenue Dept, Government of A.P., Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad. 2 Dist Colleoctor Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad. 3 Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella Ranga Reddy Dist. 4 Mandal Revenue Officer Serilingampally Mandal, Serilingampally R.R.Dist. 5.
