Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioner asserts that he is a resident of Padmanabharajupet village, and himself and the members of his family have been cultivating the lands in an extent of Ac.0.57 cents, Ac.1.50 cents and Ac.0.85 cents in Sy.Nos.28, 31/1 and 294 respectively, totalling Ac.2.91 cents situated in Bayyavaram village, Yelamanchili Mandal, Visakhapatnam District for more than 30 years. While so, the petitioner states that he, being a landless poor person, has got a preferential right for assignment under Board Standing Orders O.15 Para 10(3), and applied for assignment of the lands in question in his favour, but the 1st respondent, by his Proceedings dated 29.10.2009, rejected his application. Then, the petitioner made another representation dated 21.12.2009 requesting the 1st respondent to consider his application for assignment of the lands in question after conducting detailed enquiry into the matter. Now, it is the grievance of the petitioner that the 1st respondent-District Collector has not passed any orders on his representation. Hence, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and perused the material placed on record. Inasmuch as the representation dated 21.12.2009 said to have been made by the petitioner, is pending consideration before the 1st respondent-District Collector, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: "The 1st respondent-District Collector is directed to consider the representation dated 21.12.2009 said to have been made by the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner." With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V. RAMULU, J 24th February, 2010 bcj
