IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTY EIGHTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN :PRESENT: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.21305 of 2011 Between: V. Dakshina Murthy ..... PETITIONER AND Mandal Revenue Officer, Yarragondapalem village and mandal, Prakasham district and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: ORDER: Though this writ petition has been filed seeking a writ of mandamus by directing the respondents to complete the process of assignment of land Ac.0-26 cents situated in Sy.No.82 of Yarragondapalem village and mandal, Prakasham district, this writ petition need not be kept pending any further in view of the order i.e., proposed to be passed today. 2. The petitioner appears to be a landowner of the adjoining lands in Sy.No.82 of Yarragondapalem village and mandal, Prakasham district. He solicited assignment of land of 0.26 cents available in the said survey number on payment of market value. After a necessary report has been called for, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Markapuram, finalized the market value of the land to be Rs.30,000/- per acre and accordingly, a sum of Rs.7,800/- was directed to be collected by the Mandal Revenue Officer from the petitioner representing the market value of 0.26 cents which is sought to be assigned. Orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer in this regard are passed on 01-10-2003 and in consequence to the earlier orders passed by the Joint Collector, Prakasham district on 30-05-2003 directing the Revenue Divisional Officer to fix the market value. 3. It is further stated that the petitioner has already paid Rs.7,800/- as on 17-03-2005 itself and that the land in question was also surveyed and measured. But however, so far the issue has not been finalized for one reason or the other. When the writ petitioner instituted W.P.No.8761 of 2006, which was disposed of by this Court on 05-06-2006, the Joint Collector and Additional District Magistrate passed orders on 08-07-2006 rejecting the claim of the petitioner on the ground that the land in question was classified as Kunta Poramboku. The claim of the petitioner is that there is no such Kunta (water bed) in Sy.No.82 and in fact several constructions including the construction of a temple has existed in the said land. However, it is relevant to note that the petitioner has already filed a Memorandum of Revision Petition before the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, A.P., at Hyderabad, which is numbered as ‘Special B1/1241/06’. 4. The Chief Commissioner of Land Administration has also called for necessary information from the District Collector through his memo, dated 07-06-2010. I hope and trust that the information called for by the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration has already been furnished to him by the District Collector, Prakasham/ Revenue Divisional Officer, Markapuram/Mandal Revenue Officer, Yerragondapalem. 5. Since the revision petition said to have been preferred by the petitioner is still pending on the file of the fifth respondent herein I consider it appropriate to direct him to dispose of the said representation on merits after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six (6) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J July 28, 2011 PN HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.21305 of 2011 July 28, 2011 PN
