PETITIONERS AND 1 The District Collector Nalgonda Dist.

Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.K.V.SUBBA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.6053 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners were granted house site pattas of 80 sq.yards each, way back in the year 2007 over the land in Survey No.950 of Miryalaguda Revenue Village. However, they have not been put in possession of the house sites. The petitioners submitted a representation, dated 24.01.2009, complaining that they have not been delivered possession of the house sites assigned to them. The grievance of the petitioners is that no action has been taken thereon so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioners have placed before this Court, the copies of the house site pattas granted by the Tahsildar, Miryalaguda Mandal, Nalgonda District, the third respondent herein. If the pattas are genuine and they have not been cancelled, the petitioners are naturally entitled to possession of the house sites allotted to them and for construction of houses thereon. Unless the possession is delivered, the very exercise becomes futile and in a way, it amounts to committing fraud upon the petitioners. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents herein to take necessary action on the representation, dated 24.01.2009, submitted by the petitioners, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after verifying the records concerned. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J Dt.26.03.2009 VGB
