T S VENKATARAMANA Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR REVENUE (AP) The Court made the following order: The petitioners herein are in possession and enjoyment of the land in Sy.No.737 of Rachapalli Village, Makavarapalem Mandal since 1975. These lands were sought to be taken over earlier for various purposes. However, the land remained with the petitioners and in fact the survey conducted in 2008, by the Tahsildar, Makavarapalem, showed that the petitioners were in occupation of various extents of land admeasuring between Ac.1.05 cents to Ac.3.00 cents. The petitioners had approached this Court, by way of the present Writ Petition contending that the 3rd respondent had publicly stated that the petitioners would be evicted from these lands and an extent of Ac.1000.00 cents would be handed over to M/s.APIIC. The petitioners also contended that the officials had come to the land, on 21.09.2016, and sought to evict the petitioners. However, the officials withdrew the move after the petitioners had raised eviction. In view of the aforesaid averments, the petitioners sought a direction to the official respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the said land. 2. Sri T.S. Venkata Ramana, learned counsel for the petitioners would contend that even earlier the petitioners had sought regularization of their lands by grant of pattas and had made applications for such purpose. As these applications were not being considered, the petitioners had also approached the erstwhile High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad for the State of Telangana and the State of Andhra Pradesh, by way of W.P.No.3212 of 2014 and the same is pending. 3. Learned counsel would now submit that the petitioners had already given a representation, dated 16.12.2013, for assignment of lands in their favour and the same has remained pending on account of the pendency of the present writ petition. He would submit that it would meet the ends of justice if the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the said representation and pass orders. 4. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 2 to 4 to consider and pass orders, in accordance with law, on the representation made by the petitioners, dated 16.12.2013, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. The interim direction granted earlier protecting the possession of the petitioners shall continue till the disposal of the representations. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________________ R. RAGHUNANDAN RAO,J RJS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.
