PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Nellore and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.7445 of 1998 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the inaction of the respondents in considering the case of the petitioners for grant of assignment of an extent of Acs.2.00 of land each in Sy.No.202 situated at Chennur Village, Dhagadharthi Mandal, Nellore District, pursuant to the lease pattas granted in favour of the petitioners, as arbitrary and illegal. Petitioners claim to be landless poor persons and they have been in possession and enjoyment of Acs.2.00 of land each in the said survey number. Considering their possession, they were also granted lease pattas in respect of the said land. Subsequently, they made representations to the second respondent for grant of assignment in their favour pursuant to the lease pattas. Now their grievance is that instead of considering their representations for grant of assignment, the second respondent is instructing them to part with the land for assigning the same to the third parties. Hence, this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri P.Sridhar Reddy, submits that the representations made by the petitioners for grant of assignment are still pending before the second respondent. In the light of the said submission, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to dispose of the representations of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 07.02.2007 sh
