Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.S.KULJEET SINGH Counsel for the Respondent Nos 1 to 3, 5 and 6: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for the Respondent No.4: Mr.Thimma Reddy, Standing Counsel for Municipalities The Court made the following : ORDER: (per Sri BRSR.J) Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and on their request the matter is taken up for disposal at the admission stage. The gravamen of the complaint in the instant writ petition relates to the inaction on the part of the District Collector in making an appropriate enquiry into the representation made by the petitioner against the Mandal Revenue Officer in the matter of allotment of house sites in Gowthaminagar, Karimnagar town. Number of allegations are levelled inter alia complaining that house sites have been allotted irregularly and contrary to the scheme and the instructions issued by the Government from time to time. We are not inclined to examine the various objections raised by the petitioner in this regard since the representation made by the petitioner is yet to receive the required attention of the District Collector. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the District Collector to make an enquiry into the matter and take appropriate action in accordance with law. It is needless to observe that on enquiry, if the Collector comes to the conclusion that irregularities have been committed in the matter of allotment of house sites, suitable remedial measures have to be taken by the Collector. Decision in this regard shall be taken by the Collector within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. No costs.
