HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.14912 of 2010 Date: August 2, 2010 Between: K. Tirupathi, S/o. Swamy, aged about 48 years, Occ: labour, R/o.H.No.2-5-54, Indira Nagar, Uppal, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad, and 13 others … Petitioners And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Uppal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, and two others … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed seeking Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not demarcating house- plots allotted to the petitioners in Sy.No.789/1 of Uppal Village, Ranga Reddy District and in not handing over the same in their favour as illegal and arbitrary. Petitioners were granted D-Form Pattas in Sy.No.789/1 of Uppal Village, Ranga Reddy District, to the extent of 120 square yards each, vide proceedings No.B2/2725/83, dated 20-04-1983. It is stated that, even after assignment, when the respondents did not deliver possession of the house-plots to them, they filed W.P.No.34563 of 1997, before this court, which was disposed of with a direction to the respondents to handover possession of the said house-plots to the petitioners. It is the grievance of the petitioners that in spite of the earlier orders of this court, respondents are not delivering possession of the said plots to them by fixing boundaries. At the stage of admission, respondent No.1- Tahsildar, Uppal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, has filed counter-affidavit. In the counter-affidavit it is stated that there was some delay in implementing the earlier orders of this court and such delay has occurred due to administrative reasons. At the same time, in the counter- affidavit, it is stated that demarcation of plots is being taken up and possession of the plots will be handed over to the petitioners shortly. It is further stated that the delay caused is also on account of pendency of L.G.C.No.76/07 with regard to the land adjoining the house-plots assigned to the petitioners. Though there was some delay on the part of the respondents in handing over possession of the plots in question to the petitioners, but, in the counter-affidavit, plausible reasons for such delay have been assigned. Now, as much it is stated that demarcation process is already taken up and it is categorically averred in the counter-affidavit that possession of the plots will be handed over to the petitioners immediately after such demarcation, I dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to complete the whole exercise within three months from today and handover physical possession of the plots to the petitioners immediately thereafter, by fixing the boundaries. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) August 2, 2010 MRR
