PILLIX LAW FIRM Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR REVENUE (AP) The Court made the following Order: Heard Ms. S.L.N. Harika, learned counsel representing M/s. Pillix Law Firm appearing for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2. The grievance of the petitioner in the instant Writ Petition is against the action of the respondents in proposing to allot the subject land admeasuring an extent of Ac.3.27 cents in Sy.Nos.42/1, 43/2, 43/6, 43/7, 43/10, 43/3, 43/4, 43/5, 43/8, 43/9 & 42/2 situated in Nelivada Village, Pishinipanchayat, Ranasthalam Mandal, Srikakulam District, in favour of land less poor despite 3 the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.2702 of 2020, without issuing any notice and without following the due procedure under law. 3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that challenging the earlier action of the respondents in proposing to dispossess the petitioner, they have approached this Court by way of a Writ Petition in W.P.No.2702 of 2020. The said Writ Petition was disposed of by this Court directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner except by following the due process particularly the procedure under Rule 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007. Having regard to the same, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that without following the due procedure the subject land has been proposed for allottment in favour of the third parties, thus the instant Writ Petition is filed. 4. When the matter has been taken up for hearing today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue has placed before the Court, a copy of instructions received from the Tahsildar – respondent No.3. A perusal of the same would reflect that the Government did not utilize the subject lands for allotting the house site pattas and a suitable alternative land has already been identified and therefore the relief sought in the instant Writ Petition does not have any merit for further consideration. 5. The said instructions of the respondent No.3 – Tahsildar are placed on record. 4 6. In view of the foregoing, the Writ Petition is disposed of, observing that the grievance of the petitioner is resolved, and in case of any proposals for allotment in respect of the subject land, in favour of the third parties, the same shall be in accordance with the law. 7. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, all pending miscellaneous applications shall stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Dated: 23.03.2026 MSI 5 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO: 6802/2020 Dated: 23.03.2026 MSI
