Mandal Revenue Officer, Shamirpet Mandal, Shamirpet, Rangareddy District and four others ….Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ELIPE DHARMA RAO WRIT PETITION No.16538 of 2005 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed to declare the inaction of the respondents in considering the application dated 27.12.2001 submitted by the petitioner, as illegal and arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The facts of the case, in brief, are as follows: The petitioner is a member of Schedule Caste Community. In the year 1984, the Government of Andhra Pradesh allotted Ac.22.00 of land in Sy.No.782 of Devaramjal village to 30 scheduled caste families for setting up a dairy complex. All the beneficiaries of this scheme were allotted small pieces of agricultural land for the purpose of growing fodder for the cattle under the dairy project. The petitioner was allotted Ac.1.00 of land and the possession was also delivered to him. He filed an application in December 2001, to allow him to purchase the land on market value. But, no orders have been passed so far. Hence, he filed W.P.No.4997 of 2004, which was disposed of on 17.03.2004 with a direction to the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner. But, so far no orders have been passed. Hence, this writ petition is filed seeking necessary directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. When the writ petition came up for admission, the learned Government Pleader submits that the second respondent-The Collector, Rangareddy District through his proceedings dated 30.04.2005 forwarded the names of the persons, who intend to purchase the land, which is in their possession, to the fifth respondent-The Chief Commissioner, Land Administration, Hyderabad, for consideration and the same is still pending. Recording the submission made by the learned Government Pleader, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the fifth respondent to consider the proposal submitted by the second respondent and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, within a period of twelve (12) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ 04.08.2005 kdl
