THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.21652 of 2006 Dated: 27-10-2006 Between: A.P.S.R.T.C. Employees Union, Chittoor. ..... PETITIONER AND The District Collector and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.21652 of 2006 ORDER: The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation Employees Union filed representations before the respondent Nos. 1 and 3 seeking allotment of land admeasuring Acs.4.00 in survey No.79/2 situated at Puttur Village on market value to it for being allotted to its members as house sites. These applications were made on 16-12- 1998, 20-11-2004 and 14-12-2005. These remain undisposed of till today. Therefore, the petitioner-association filed instant writ petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner- association purchased the subject land from the persons to whom the land was assigned, without knowing the nature of the land and having come to know about this, they made representations to the Mandal Revenue Officer as well as the District Collector for allotment of the land. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) submits that as the land purchased by the petitioner-association is assigned land, said purchase is in contravention of the conditions of assignment. He also submits that necessary action was taken when the land was resumed to the Government. He, however, does not dispute that the representations made by the petitioners are still pending with the respondents. As the representations have not been disposed of, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the right of the petitioner-association to seek allotment of the land, is of the considered opinion that the District Collector should consider the request of the petitioner-association and pass appropriate orders. In case the District Collector decides in favour of the petitioner-association, he may send a report to the Government to that effect. This exercise may be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations and direction, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ V.V.S.RAO, J 27th October, 2006 Note: Issue CC 03-11-2006 B/o ghn
