The writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.3 in proceeding to reduce the size of the house plots allotted to the petitioners vide proceedings dated 25-06- 1998 from three cents to two cents as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri K.Rathangapani Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Assignment. At the hearing, the Assistant Government Pleader for Assignment, on the basis of the averments contained in the counter affidavit, submitted that so far no order has been passed reducing the size of the plot, that respondent No.3 merely made a proposal to respondent No.2 for such reduction and that final decision has not been taken as yet by respondent No.2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the ground for proposed reduction was to utilize a part of the assigned land for formation of the road and that instead of reducing the size of the plot, it would be reasonable if the open vacant land was acquired from beneficiaries by giving alternative plots to them. Inasmuch as no final order has been passed by respondent No.2, he is directed to consider the report of respondent No.3 and the representations to be filed by the petitioners. The petitioners are directed to make representations to respondent No.2 within a period of four weeks from today and on receipt of such representations, respondent No.2 is directed to consider the same in the light of the report submitted by respondent No.3 and pass appropriate orders. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WVMP.No.1993 of 2005 and WPMP.No.9879 of 2005 are disposed of as infructuous. _________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dt:11.06.2008 Usd
