THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION No.17999 OF 2021
ORDER:
This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking the following relief:
".....to issue a Writ, Order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondent authorities in not deleting the petitioners property in an extent of Ac. 2.48 cents in Sy.No.1047/1 of Tallapaka Revenue Village, Rajampet Mandal, Kadapa District from the list of prohibited properties list U/Sec 22-A(1)(a) of Registration Act, as highly arbitrary, illegal, null and void and against norms of public policy and principles of natural justice and violative of fundamental rights apart from Article 300-A of Constitution of India and consequently to direct the respondent authorities to delete the above said property from the list of prohibited properties pursuant to the applications submitted by the petitioners dated 29.11.2018 and 14.02.2019 respectively and the reports of the Tahsildar 12.12.2018 and 16.02.2019 and to effect the registrations in respect of the subject land and pass such other orders...".
2. Though the petitioners made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners limited his request to dispose of the Mee-Seva Applications dated 29.11.2018 and 14.02.2019 submitted by the petitioners, without touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents readily agreed to dispose of the Mee-Seva Applications dated 29.11.2018 and 14.02.2019 submitted by the petitioners, if any, pending with the respondent authorities.
4. Recording the submissions of the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such 2 direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in "The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1", wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But they do not serve to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the Mee Seva Applications dated 29.11.2018 and 14.02.2019 submitted by the petitioners, I find no other alternative, except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondent authorities to dispose of the Mee-Seva Applications dated 29.11.2018 and 14.02.2019 submitted by the petitioners, in accordance with law, within two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
