BY ITS EXECUTIVE OFFICE ...RESPONDENT(S): Counsel for the Petitioner: 1.D VSASIDHAR Counsel for the Respondent(S): 2 1.GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court made the following: ORDER: Heard Sri D.V. Sasidhar, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri G. Naga Bhushanam, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments and Smt. Radhika Pulipati, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent No.4. The contention of the petitioner is that he is presently a tenant in respect of the subject land and he has been paying an amount of Rs.7,00,000/- per anum towards lease amount. The lease executed in 2. favour of the petitioner would expire by the end of July-2025. It is stated that on 01.07.2025, the petitioner has made a representation to the Commissioner of Endowments seeking extension of lease for further period of three (03) years. However without considering the said representation, the respondent No.4 has issued impugned proceedings for conducting fresh auction. Smt. Radhika Pulipati, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent No.4 would submit that although, the representation is 3. dated 01.07.2025, the same was filed on 11.07.2025. It is further submitted by the learned Standing Counsel that the lease has been sufficiently extended in favour of the petitioner for one year on a condition that the petitioner pays the enhanced rent of Rs.7,00,000/- per anum, since the r 3 subject land would fetch more than the amount that the petitioner has paid last year. The respondents have therefore, in the interests of the institution rightly issued the notification for public auction of lease hold rights. Hence, the petitioner’s request for extension of the lease would not merit for consideration. Considered the rival submissions. Since the subject auction is scheduled on 25.07.2025 and the representation of the petitioner is pending, this Court deems it appropriate to direct the respondent No.2 to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner before the scheduled date of auction on 25.07.2025. 4. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. 5. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, all pending miscellaneous applications shall stand closed. Sd/- K.KASI RAO ACHAR!
