Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.CHINDAMANJANEYULU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.6134 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have purchased an extent of 200 sq.yards of land in Survey No.233 of Nizampet Village, Qutubullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, through a registered document, dated 26.04.1989. On coming to know that the land belongs to the Government, the petitioner filed an application, dated 08.05.2008, seeking regularization in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166, Revenue (Assignments POT) Department, dated 16.02.2008. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the case of the petitioner fits within the parameters fixed in G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue, on the other hand, submits that the petitioner purchased assigned land, that he is not in possession of the land and in that view of the matter, he is not entitled to the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008. The Government itself evolved a scheme for regularization of unauthorized occupations over its land by issuing G.O.Ms.No.166. The facility, is however subject to certain conditions. In case, the petitioner fulfills the prescribed parameters, his case needs to be considered and on the other hand, if the application cannot be considered for any reason, the same needs to be communicated. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to process the application, dated 08.05.2008, submitted by the petitioner and if it is found to be not feasible, to communicate the reasons therefor, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J Dt.24.03.2009 VGB
