Sudershan Reddy) The impugned order under appeal, in our considered opinion, does not suffer from any legal infirmities requiring our interference in exercise of our appellate jurisdiction. The learned single Judge rightly relied upon the decision rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in M.RAMMOHAN REDDY Vs. THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH (Writ Petition No.21395 of 2002, dated 13.11.2003) and, accordingly, held that the policy decision taken by the Government even in respect of prescription of rates mentioned in Schedule-I, annexed to G.O.Ms.No.455, dated 29.07.2002, does not suffer from any infirmities requiring interference of this Court. Prescription of rates of the lands as mentioned in Schedule-I to the said G.O. is also in the realm of the policy decision. We cannot sit in appeal over such policy decisions of the State in exercise of our judicial review jurisdiction. The appeal fails and shall accordingly stand dismissed. ___________________________ B.
