IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD

FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH * * * WRIT PETITION No. 26582 of 2015 BETWEEN P.Venugopal Rao and others ... PETITIONERS AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department and others ...RESPONDENTS Date of Order pronounced: 21.08.2015 SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL:

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR

1. Whether Reporters of Local newspapers Yes/No may be allowed to see the Judgments?

2. Whether the copies of judgment may be Yes/No marked to Law Reporters/Journals?

3. Whether his Lordship wish to see the Yes/No fair copy of the Judgment?

ORDER:- Heard.

2. Pursuant to the directions of this court in W.P.No.33875 of 2013, dated 20.11.2014, the vendor of the petitioners filed an application before the District Collector, second respondent, seeking no objection certificate on 18.02.2015. Said application is referable to G.O.Ms.No.307, Revenue (Assignments.I) Department, dated 06.06.2013, whereunder the District Collector is the competent authority to consider grant of NOC with regard to the lands allotted to ex-servicemen to enable them to file application after the moratorium. Petitioners state that though the application was filed on 18.02.2015, so far the second respondent has not taken any further action in the matter and hence seeks appropriate directions.

3. Since the matter only relates to consideration of application of the vendor of the petitioners, who has filed the said application for grant of NOC, and since the said application is pending with the second respondent from February, 2015, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to consider the same in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
