P. Sankaranarayana S/O Late Rama Rao v. The Principal Secretary Government Of Andhra Pradesh

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 15956 of 2005 ORDER:

1) The present writ petition came to be filed seeking issuance of writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondents in putting the petitioner's land admeasuring 2250 square yards in Sy.No.403 (Old 129), situated at Shaikpet Village, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, for public auction vide notification is illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 300-A of the Constitution of India; and to direct the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 16.06.2005.

2) A counter came to be filed by the Tahsildar, stating that the relief sought by the petitioners to grant stay of public auction of the subject land was already dropped. Subsequently as per the directions of the District Collector, Hyderabad vide letter No.E6/ 11/ 4180/ 2011, the said land has been handed over to the Government organizations viz., A.P.Mineral Development Corporation and A.P.Agros Industries Development Corporation on 09.08.2011, for construction of their office buildings and since then the said land has been under their possession. 3) The next grievance of the petitioners is non-consideration of the representation dated 16.06.2005 made by the petitioners. 4) It is to be noted here that earlier the same petitioners filed W.P.No.26720 of 2012, questioning the action of the respondents

in not considering the applications made by them seeking regularization of their land in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008. By an order dated, 28.08.2012, this Court disposed of the said writ petition holding as under:

" The writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.1 to finalise the matter, on the application submitted by the petitioners for regularisation of the plots under their occupation in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that this order shall not be treated as a specific direction for regularisation. There shall be no order as to costs."

5) In view of the said order, this Court is of the view that no further order in directing the respondents to consider the representation dated 16.06.2005 is necessary, as already a direction was given to the authorities to consider the application made by the very same petitioners for regularization of lands, in terms of G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008.

6) Hence, I see no merits in the writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. 7) Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
