THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.9849 of 2005 Dated:18.04.2006 Between: V.Narsing Rao, and another. ..... PETITIONER AND The District Collector, Warangal District, and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.9849 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioners filed an application, being TC.No.24 of 1969, before the second respondent under Section 44 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950, seeking eviction and resumption of the land, which was in possession of the tenants. For various reasons the said application still remains undisposed of in spite of the orders of this Court in W.P.No.19637 of 2001, dated 20.09.2001, wherein this Court directed the second respondent to dispose of the matter within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the said order. Hence the present writ petition is filed seeking a direction for expeditious disposal of the case. After getting instructions in the matter, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) submits that out of 88 persons, who are in possession of the lands, 55 persons were served and the matter could not be disposed of for want of service of notice on other 33 persons. He also submits that though the notices were served on number of occasions, they were returned unserved. Having regard to the submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this Court is of the considered opinion that the petitioners themselves should take out notice by substituted service by publishing the notice in the local edition of Eenadu Telugu daily newspaper returnable by 05.05.2006. Thereafter, on production of proof of publication, the second respondent shall take up the matter immediately and dispose of the same within a period of three weeks. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 18.04.2006 Note: Issue C.C by tomorrow. B/o. vs
