IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH, AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO W.P. No. 19513 OF 2005 Date: 03.10.2005 BETWEEN: Smt. Khadarunnisa Begum …. PETITIONER And 1. The District Collector, West Godavari District, Eluru, and others. …. RESPONDENTS HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 19513 OF 2005 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Ashoknagar, Eluru, West Godavari District. It appears, her father-in-law late M.I. Papasaheb approached the Government for assignment of land in T.S.No.1792/2 admeasuring Acs.0.08 of Eluru town. Vide Memo No.692/B2/84-3, dated 16.4.1984 the request of late Papasaheb was rejected by the Government stating that the land in T.S.No.1792/2 is required for public purpose. In this writ petition the daughter-in-law of late Papasaheb alleges that though her father-in-law was denied assignment, the respondents have now assigned the land to fifth respondent and another in an illegal and arbitrary manner. Therefore, the petitioner seeks invalidation of the assignment. After obtaining necessary instructions from the respondents, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) submits that the land was assigned to fifth respondent and another in 1993 and that the petitioner may approach the Mandal Revenue Officer, obtain a copy of the assignment and seek redressal before the revenue authorities. There is force in the submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader. As the petitioner approached this Court with inordinate delay challenging the assignment made in favour of the fifth respondent and another, he is given liberty to approach revenue authorities in the first instance. The Writ Petition is therefore disposed of at the admission stage giving liberty to the petitioner to seek appropriate redressal by filing appeal before the competent authority after obtaining a coy of the assignment order from the office of the second respondent. As and when the petitioner approaches for a copy, the second respondent shall furnish a copy of assignment order. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J.) 3rd October, 2005 Js
