Though the petitioner-Association claims that the said land is classified as Government poramboke and available for assignment, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, under instructions, states that the said Sy.Nos.208 and 486 are classified as Kalava Poramboke and Sy.No.207 of Vedantapurm is a private patta land and therefore, the same cannot be assigned infavour of the petitioner- Association as sought by them. Be that as it may, since admittedly the representations made by the petitioner- Association are pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, to pass appropriate orders on the representations of the petitioner-Association, in accordance with law and communicate the same, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today as to the nature and possession of the land in question shall be maintained. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ G.
