Mr. V.Subbiah, Spl.G.P (in all Wps) COMMON ORDER The names of the petitioners were found place in the local list prepared by respondent No.2 on 17.6.1994. A challenge was made in the said list which ultimately, ended in dismissal of https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

the writ petition in W.P.No.17394 of 1997. Thereafter, a fresh list was prepared on the ground that there were subsequent changes in the status of the beneficiaries with respect to their economic status. It is also the case of the respondent that the earlier list was only tentative. Thereafter, a fresh list was prepared and approved by District Collector on 26.01.1996. Thereafter, pattas were issued on 23.02.2001 to the beneficiaries. The second list was prepared on 15.12.2001 and pattas have been issued to the beneficiaries in the month of May 2002. Now, the petitioners have come forward to file these writ petitions placing reliance upon the initial list approved on 17.06.1994.

2. Much water has flown under the bridge for the approval of the earlier list on 26.01.1996. It was cancelled followed by two lists prepared and approved. Pattas have been issued thereafter. Everything was over in the month of May 2002. Unfortunately, the petitioners have not challenged the cancellation of the earlier list and the approval of the subsequent list.

3. The beneficiaries or the allottees of subsequent list are also not before this Court. Therefore, at this point of time, this Court is not inclined to allow these writ petitions. Accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed. No costs. Sd/ ASSISTANT REGISTRAR(CS-IV) /TRUE COPY/ SUB-ASSISTANT REGISTRAR kua To
