The grievance of the petitioner in the instant writ petition is against the action of the respondents in not handing over possession of Shop No.5 situated in SC Shopping Complex, Krosuru, Palnadu District, to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner sought a direction to the respondents to forthwith hand over the same. 3. It is contended that the petitioner’s father was allotted the subject shop in the year 1990. Since the date of demise of the petitioner’s father on 18.12.2020, the petitioner has been in occupation and she has been conducting the business from the same shop for her livelihood. However, the 6th respondent, taking advantage of her feeble position, had encroached into the subject shop and occupied the same. On account of the several representations made by the petitioner, and pursuant to the directions of the 2nd respondent dated 27.10.2025, the 6th respondent vacated the subject shop on 01.11.2025. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to reallot the subject shop in her favour. 4. When the matter is taken up for consideration today, the learned Standing Counsel for the 3rd respondent has placed before the Court a copy of 4 the instructions received by him in the case. It has been contended that the petitioner, as a matter of right, cannot seek permission for allotment of the subject shop, claiming hereditary rights. 5. Having regard to the contentions advanced, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting liberty to the petitioner to file a representation seeking redressal of her grievance before the authority within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of the order. Upon such representation, the 3rd respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the petitioner’s representation in accordance with law within eight (8) weeks, thereafter. 6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall also stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Dated: 13.08.2026 ANI 5 141 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO:21580 of 2026 Dated: 13.08.2026 ANI 6
