THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.29789 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to declare the action of the respondents, in not considering the case of the petitioners for grant of ‘D’ Form patta in respect of the lands covered in R.S.Nos.20/1, 49/2 and 171/6 for an extent of Ac.1-91 cents, Ac.1-81 cents and Ac.2- 00 respectively of Vedanthapuram Village, Koyyalagudem Mandal, as illegal and arbitrary. Sri P.R.K. Amerandra Kumar, Learned Counsel for the petitioners, would state that though the Chairman of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes State Commission had recommended that the petitioners be granted assignment of the lands under their occupation nearly three years ago, no action has as yet been taken for assignment of lands even though the petitioners are fully eligible for grant of assignment. When the matter came up for admission on 09.11.2011, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) sought time to obtain instructions. Today the Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), on instructions, would state that the petitioners are in occupation of Government lands; the respondents do not, as at present, intend taking action for their eviction from the Government lands in question; survey is being conducted to demarcate the lands; and, once this exercise is completed, persons eligible for grant of assignment would be considered for assignment of lands. Learned Government Pleader would state that since the petitioners representations are also pending, their request for grant of assignment could also be considered provided, on enquiry, it is established that they are eligible for grant of assignment. Recording the said submissions of the Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), and in as much as the respondents, on their own accord, intend assigning lands in the said survey numbers to those eligible for grant of assignment, the Writ Petition is closed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J November 14, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.29789 OF 2011 November 14, 2011 MD
