PETITIONER AND The State of A.P. rep. By District Collector, W.G. District, Eluru and others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner :Sri T.V.Jaggi Reddy Counsel for the Respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21923 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be Auto Owners Welfare Association of Pangidigudem Village, Jangareddygudem Mandal, West Godavari District. The petitioner has pleaded that on the outskirts of Jangareddygudem at a point where the main road bifurcates, with one of the roads leading to several villages, there are two pieces of vacant sites of Ac.0.02 cents each classified as Village Poramboke and Gramakantam respectively. The petitioner has further pleaded that the said site is being used by the general public as a waiting place during their travel to and from their villages. It is also stated that the members of the petitioner- Association have been parking their autos while waiting for picking up and setting down the commuters. It is the further case of the petitioner that on public demand and also on the request of the petitioner-Association, three Gram Panchayats have passed resolutions earmarking the Gramkantam and Village Poramboke of Ac.0.02 cents each for being used for the above purposes. The petitioner claimed to have made a representation dated 20.08.2010 to the District Collector, West Godavari District requesting him to allot the Village Poramboke land of Ac.0.02 cents to it. The grievance of the petitioner is that while the said representation is not being disposed of, there are attempts made by certain influential persons to get the said land allotted in their favour for their personal benefit. From the averments contained above, it is evident that the petitioner is seeking allotment on the plea that such an allotment tends to public convenience. On the petitioner’s own admission that the lands vest either in Government or in Gram Panchayat concerned, this Court cannot compel the respondents to give away the land to the petitioner. However, as the petitioner’s representation dated 20.08.2010 is stated to be pending before the District Collector, he is directed to consider and dispose of the same keeping in view the public interest. If he is satisfied that the land in question can be utilized for the purposes as pleaded by the petitioner, he shall consider allotment of the same as requested by the petitioner. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the main petition, WPMP.No.27894 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:08.09.2010 usd
