IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD

FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE TWENTY FOURTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.7634 of 2015 BETWEEN Meer Masood Ali Khan ... PETITIONER AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary (Department of Mines and Geology), A.P. Secretariat Building, Hyderabad and others. ...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following:

ORDER:

Heard.

2. Petitioner claims to be the GPA holder of persons alleged to be Inamdars under Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition & Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956. Except a representation filed before the Sub-collector at Page No.86, there is no other document to substantiate that a statutory application under the aforesaid Act is filed by the persons claiming to be Inams and seeking Occupancy Rights Certificate (ORC). Present writ petition is, however, filed to cancel about 90 leases granted from time to time in different villages on the assertion of the petitioner that he is the Inam holder and that pending grant of ORCs, all the quarry leases are

required to be cancelled.

3. As on today, petitioner does not have any ORC or any other document to show the title to the lands, where quarry leases are granted. The application filed by the petitioner before the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, therefore, obviously cannot be considered as it does not make out even a semblance of legal right in favour of the petitioner as on today. If and when petitioner is granted ORC, it is for him to take appropriate steps. For the present, the direction, as sought for, for consideration of his application filed before the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology to cancel all the leases cannot, therefore, be considered.

Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
