BHANU W.P.No.18852 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering the petitioner as a landless poor person as illegal and arbitrary. The learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that in spite of declaration of the petitioner as landless poor person, the respondent are auctioning his leasehold rights, therefore, he prays to allow the writ petition. The learned Government Pleader for Endowments has contended that an amount of Rs.50,000/- is due from the petitioner towards arrears of rent, and though he is a landless poor person, the Department has right to give him the land provided he pays the arrears of rent as on today. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, I consider it appropriate to direct the writ petitioner to pay the arrears of rent within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, thereafter, he shall be given leasehold rights of the lands provided he is ready to pay 2/3rd of the rent in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of the above direction. No order as to costs. _______________ 02.09.2005 bcj
