THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P. NAVEEN RAO Dated:01.05.2018 Between:

P.Venkata Rajeswaramma, W/o.Narasimha Rao, Aged about 53 years, R/o. Pedapurdi Village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District and others.

... Petitioners And State of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat Buildings At Velagapudi, Guntur District and others.

... Respondents The Court made the following:

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO ORDER:

Petitioners earlier filed W.P.No.7372 of 2010 praying to grant direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners for grant of assignment patta in their favour in respect of the property situated in R.S.Nos.27 and 30 of Pedapudi Village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District. The Court disposed of the writ petition directing Tahsildar to pass orders on the representation dated 13.01.2010 made by the petitioners therein within twelve weeks. Till such time, the order of Status quo passed by the Court on 13.04.2010 was directed to be operated. The Court further directed that Tahsildar shall give opportunity to all the parties including the petitioners, before passing orders on the said representation.

2.

bare reading of the relief sought for in W.P.No.7372 of 2010 shows that it is similar to the relief sought for in the present writ petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner sought to explain that as the time granted by the Court in the earlier writ petition expired and the said direction was issued in the year 2015, the petitioners filed present writ petition.

3.

However, a different picture is given by the respondents. According to the respondents, petitioners are not in possession and that they were orally informed that the subject land cannot be assigned to them, as the same is identified for the purpose of allotment of house sites to the needy people.

4.

Admittedly, so far, no orders are passed as directed earlier by the Court. Oral response is not valid, more so, when specifically gave directions to pass orders and to afford hearing to the parties before passing the orders. 5.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of, directing the Tahsildar to examine the claim of the petitioners, as directed by the Court in W.P.No.7372 of 2010 and pass orders by assigning reasons in support of the decision. The order of status quo granted by the Court on 13.04.2010 in W.P.No.7372 of 2010 shall continue to operate till decision is made as directed above.

6.

Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in this case shall stand closed as consequence. There shall be no order as to costs.
