PETITIONER AND 1 The District Revenue Officer, Karimpangar District and 3 others. ....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.12045 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by Rapolu Venugopal Rao assailing the action of the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapalli, Karimnagar District, in not passing any orders on his application dated 03.04.2000 in spite of it being taken on file as Ref.No.D/3141/2003. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3. Though 4th respondent entered appearance through his counsel, when the matter is taken up for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the 4th respondent. With the consent of the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and is being disposed of by this order. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapalli, Karimnagar District, having entertained his application and issued notice dated 18.12.2003 to appear before him, has not passed any orders. The notice issued to the petitioner has been placed on record and it reads as follows. “Enquiry in the matter is fixed on 05.01.2004 at 11.00 AM before the undersigned. Therefore, all the marginally noted persons are hereby directed to appear before the undersigned on the above said date and time along with documentary support if any in their favour without fail.” Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapalli, Karimnagar District, having issued the notice on the application presented by the writ petitioner, has not conducted any enquiry and has not passed any orders so far. Such is the situation, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 2nd respondent (Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapalli, Karimnagar District) to conduct an enquiry in pursuance of the notice dated 18.12.2003 and pass appropriate orders within four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________________ (B. SESHASAYANA REDDY, J) Date: 03.08.2005 Nsr
