While so, in view of long possession of leasehold property bearing Plot No.17-B admeasuring 6110 sq. yards situated at Sarojini Devi Road, Secunderabad (hereinafter referred to as ‘the leasehold property), by one Man Singh, the grand father of the petitioner and the 3rd respondent, and that after his death, by the legal heirs of the said Man Singh, the 2nd respondent- Estate Officer, Secunderabad, has issued notice, dated 31.07.2005, followed by show cause notice dated 30.04.2002, directing the legal heirs of late Man Singh to remit an amount of Rs.2,41,85,485/- towards conversion of the leasehold rights into freehold rights in respect of the leasehold property. However, due to inaction of the 3rd respondent in paying his share out of the amount sought to be paid under the notice dated 31.07.2005, the matter of conversion of the leasehold rights into freehold rights in favour of the legal heirs of Shambhu Singh, with regard to the extent of the share of Shambhu Singh over the leasehold property, is pending. According to the petitioner, out of the extent of the share of her father over the leasehold property, she is entitled to 50% share, but her brother i.e., the 3rd respondent, without her knowledge, alone is corresponding with the 2nd respondent as if he is the only legal heir of Shambhu Singh and trying to get converted the aforesaid leasehold rights into freehold rights of his father exclusively in his name and paid his share of the conversion charges also. The petitioner contends that she sent a letter dated 22.02.2006 to the 1st respondent-Chief Commissioner, Land Administration, bringing to his notice about her equal right in the properties left by her father, which includes share in the leasehold property, and that she is also ready to pay the conversion amount of her share, but as there was no response from the 1st respondent, she sent reminders dated 14.03.2006, followed by reminders dated 11.09.2006, 28.02.2008, 02.09.2008, but in vain. The grievance of the petitioner is that she also filed objections on 17.12.2008 before the 1st respondent stating that the Memorandum of Understanding entered into between herself and the 3rd respondent has become null and void, as the 3rd respondent has not acted upon it, that to stop processing the file of the 3rd respondent pertaining to conversion of the leasehold rights into freehold rights to the extent of the share fallen to her father over the leasehold property, that to include her name also as having right in the leasehold property, as she is also one of the legal heirs of the leasehold property holder, and that she is willing to pay the conversion amount of her share, but however the 1st respondent has not taken any action on the said representation till date. Hence, this writ petition. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, respondents 1 and 2 are directed to dispose of the objection petition filed by the petitioner on 17.12.2008, while considering the conversion of leasehold rights into freehold rights, pertaining to the extent of the share fallen to Shambhu Singh over the leasehold property, in favour of the 3rd respondent. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 17.09.2009 v v
