HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.3534 OF 2006 DATED: 24.2.2006 Between: Dhananjay Rao … Petitioner and The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, At Lakdikapul, Hyderabad and others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.3534 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The Writ Petition is misconceived. The petitioner through his GPA has filed the writ petition, in substance aggrieved that the District Collector - the 1st respondent has not taken any action on the representation dated 18.3.2005 made by the GPA. The gravamen of the representation is that the petitioner was allotted a house, under the Weaker Sections Housing Scheme in Jillellaguda Village, Saroornagar Mandal, in a plot bearing No.170; that he fell ill and was bed-ridden; that the GPA was appointed to take care of the property till recovery of the petitioner from illness; that the house has been let out to one Smt. Arunamma on payment of monthly rent; that Arunamma is related to a Gram Panchayat member and is claiming ownership on the basis of certain false and fake documents issued by the Manager and Dy. Executive Engineer of the Housing Corporation, Ranga Reddy District, who in collusion with Arunamma had issued fake certificates to her in respect of the property. This representation made by the GPA of the petitioner to the District Collector is neither a Statutory appeal nor a revision. No Mandamus can issue to the District Collector to dispose of such a representation. If it is the petitioner’s grievance that any officer of the Housing Corporation had abused his official position and had issued fake certificates to any person to defeat or prejudice the petitioner’s rights, the petitioner is at liberty to pursue civil and criminal remedies against such an officer or officers. No Mandamus can however be issued to dispose of a mere representation which invites no Statutory obligation from the District Collector to respond to. The Writ Petition is dismissed. The petitioner has however the liberty to pursue appropriate legal remedies. No costs. ------------------------------- GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 24.2.2006 CVM
