THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31600 of 2010 Date: 15.12.2010 Between: Smt. Sade Pallalamma ..... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Kakinada and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Taddi Nageswara Rao Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.3 in granting lease to the petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.0.80 cents in R.S.No.28/2 of Madupalli Vilalge, Ainavilli Mandal, East Godavari District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner was granted lease in respect of the abovementioned land on 09.09.2005. On the petitioner’s own showing the said lease has expired. The petitioner has approached the respondents for grant of lease for further period. Through his letter dated 29.10.2009, respondent No.3 recommended to respondent No.1 for grant of B-Class lease in favour of the petitioner. Thereafter, respondent No.1, through his letter dated 17.06.2010, requested respondent No.3 to send an appropriate report on the status of the land, the person in possession thereof and the eligibility of the petitioner along with ad hoc lease proposals to respondent No.2. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that while no further action has been taken by respondent No.3, the Mandal Revenue Inspector has been interfering with her possession of the land in question. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submitted that while the proposals for grant of ad hoc lease in favour of the petitioner were being considered, a person, by name, P. Varalakshmi has raised objections to the said proposals and that therefore, the lease proposals could not be finalized. In the light of the above facts, without going into the entitlement or otherwise of the petitioner for grant of lease, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to consider the petitioner’s application for lease in accordance with law and dispose of the same within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such consideration and disposal of the petitioner’s application, she shall not be dispossessed from the land in question if she is in physical possession thereof. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40186 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th December, 2010 GHN
