THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO WRIT PETITION No.10272 of 2009 ORDER: Heard both sides and at their request, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and disposal. The only grievance of the petitioners is to the effect that in spite of the fact that they have filed a representation on 03.03.2009 before respondent No.2 for survey, no orders have been passed thereon nor any enquiry is conducted. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents stated that the District Collector is not the competent authority to consider the representation of the petitioners. Necessarily, it is to be taken up by the appropriate authority. Having considered the submissions of the learned counsel and perused the material and especially in view of the grievance of the petitioners as stated above, it is not necessary to delve into the merits of the case and it would suffice in the interest of justice to direct the respondents herein to consider the said representation and proceed therewith, either by the second respondent herein or by referring it to the competent authority under law, by conducting a regular enquiry with due notice and opportunity to the petitioners and pass orders thereon in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J 20th MAY, 2009. kvni/kdl
