THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.25554 OF 2011 ORDER: Questioning the action of the respondents in not issuing “No Objection Certificate” to the petitioner to enable him to sell the land in Survey No.136/1B, of an extent of Ac.4-95 cents of Thondavada Village, Chandragiri Mandal, Chittoor District inspite of the petitioner’s representation dated 26.07.2010, as arbitrary and illegal the present Writ Petition is filed. It is the petitioner’s case that his father, an ex-serviceman, was assigned land by proceedings dated 28.07.1997; the Government, in G.O.Ms.No.1117 dated 11.11.1993, had permitted alienation of lands assigned in favour of ex-servicemen after a lock-in period of ten years; and, since the said period of ten years expired by July 2007, the petitioner had requested that he be granted the “No Objection Certificate” to enable him to alienate the land in question. Learned Government pleader for Revenue (Assignment), on instructions, submits that the matter is pending before the District Collector, who has called for the records from the second respondent, and thereafter the matter will be placed before the District Level Committee which shall consider and take a decision on petitioner’s request within four weeks from today. Recording the said submission of the Learned Government Pleader, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 26.07.2010, for grant of “No Objection Certificate”, in accordance with law; and take a decision and communicate the same to the petitioner within four weeks from today. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J September 19, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.25554 OF 2011 September 19, 2011 MD
