THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1008 OF 2009 Dt.7.8.2009 Between: Smt. D. Lakshmi and another … Appellants And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Additional Secretary, Housing Board (HB-II) Department, and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1008 OF 2009 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Sri Anil R. Dave) The appellants - petitioners, who are admittedly in unauthorized occupation of the land belonging to respondent No.2, had made a request to respondent No.2 for sale of the land in question at the rate of Rs.2,000/- per sq. yard. When the said request was not replied to, Writ Petition No.11457 of 2004 was filed by the petitioners, which has been rejected by the learned Single Judge, and being aggrieved by the said order of rejection, this appeal has been filed. The learned Advocate appearing for the appellants has submitted that according to the policy laid down by the Andhra Pradesh Housing Board in G.O. (Ms). No.20, dt.11.6.1984, it was open to respondent No.2 to sell the land in question. In our opinion, the learned Single Judge has rightly rejected the petition by observing that the petitioners have no right to purchase the land at the rate offered by them. We do not see any illegality in the impugned order. Needless to say that if there is any other mode by which the land can be disposed of in favour of the appellants - petitioners in accordance with law, it would be open to the appellants to have recourse to such method. The Writ Appeal is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs. ANIL R. DAVE, CJ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 07.8.2009 bnr
