Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents. 3. The petitioners, who are villagers of Mallampalli in Chinatalapalem revenue village, Tirupati District, have approached the revenue authorities requesting the allotment of the vacant Gramakantam land situated at Sy.No.300/10, to an extent of Ac.1.92 cents, for the construction of public welfare facilities such as schools, health clinics, veterinary clinics, and community halls for the benefit of the general public. However, the revenue 3 authorities have informed the villagers that they intend to distribute house site pattas. For which, the petitioners submitted representations on 15.02.2025 and 17.02.2025 to the authorities, raising objections to this proposed distribution. They contend that the individuals in whose names the land is being allocated already possess house site pattas, and therefore, the proposed allottees are ineligible for receiving new house-site pattas. 4. Learned Government Pleader for the respondents placed on record written instructions dated 07.03.2025, wherein it is stated that there is no proposal for issuance of house sites to anyone in the subject survey number. It seems that the petitioners with mere assumption or apprehension preferred filed this Writ petition. 5. Having regard to the submissions made by both the learned counsel and on perusal of the material placed on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present Writ Petition can be disposed of directing the respondent Nos.2 to 4, if they intended to distribute the house site pattas to ineligible persons or to allot any other purpose other than the community purpose, they shall follow due process as contemplated under Board Standing Orders and by conducting proper and detailed enquiry by observing fair and reasonable opportunity to villagers or stake holders, if any. 6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 4 As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 24.03.2025 LSP 5 166 HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA WRIT PETITION NO: 6203/2025 24.03.2025 LSP
