They filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondent Nos.1 to 3 in not considering the objections filed by the petitioners on 08.09.2005, 29.10.2005 and 07.10.2005, before considering the request of the fourth respondent for variation of Master Plan and change of land use in respect of land comprised in Survey No.125 (part) of Pedajalaripeta, Visakhapatnam, as illegal and arbitrary. At the stage of admission itself, the learned Standing Counsel for Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) submits that when the fourth respondent sought necessary orders for change of land use, VUDA only forwarded the application to the Government for appropriate orders under Section 12(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas Development Act, 1975, and that no further orders are issued so far. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Municipal Administration after getting instructions submits that the Government has called for the remarks of VUDA on the representation of the fourth respondent, and the various objection petitions filed by the petitioners are also under consideration. Therefore, instead of keeping the matter pending, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the third respondent, i.e., Government of Andhra Pradesh, Municipal Administration Department, to consider the objection petitions submitted by the petitioners before taking any action on the proposal sent by the fourth respondent through VUDA. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 24.11.2005 Note: Issue C.C. by 28.11.2005. B/o. vs
