RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 6309 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioner for regularization of the house bearing municipal no. 16-1-558 admeasuring 310 sq yards, Saidabad, Hyderabad in terms of G.O Ms No. 515 Revenue (Assignment) Department dated 19.4.2003 as illegal. The case of the petitioner is that he has purchased the subject property in the year 1960 under registered document no. 8519/1960 and since then he is in possession and enjoyment of the same and regularly paying the property tax. In the year 2003, petitioner approached first respondent for issuance of “no objection certificate” for construction of new house and he was informed that the subject land belongs to Government as per the T.S.L.R. Records. Then the petitioner filed a suit in O.S No. 3075 of 2004 on the file of the VII Senior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad for declaration of title and perpetual injunction and obtained status quo order. Thereafter, as per the oral instructions of second respondent, the petitioner herein has withdrawn the suit and submitted an application dated 20.4.2007 for regularization in terms of G.O Ms.No.515 dated 19.4.2003 and the same is still pending. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in continuous possession of the subject property since 1960 and since his application for regularization dated 20.4.2007 is pending before the first respondent, the writ petition may be disposed of directing expeditious disposal of the said application. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue agreed for the same. Hence, in view of agreed stand of both the counsel the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. Having regard to the fact that the application of the petitioner dated 20.4.2007 for regularization in terms of G.O.Ms No. 515 dated 19.4.2003 is pending and in view of the agreed stand taken by both the counsel, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the said application of the petitioner in accordance with law, expeditiously. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 26.3.2008 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 6309 of 2008 Date: 26.3.2008
