Judgement Date : 11 April, 2022
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.8944 OF 2022
ORDER:
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution
of India seeking the following relief:-
"....to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondents nos.2 to 4 in showing the petitioners agricultural lands in the Prohibitory list under Section 2-2A (1)(B) without giving any reasons and without conducting any enquiry illegally showing the petitioners agricultural lands in Sy.No.577 to an extent of Ac.1.69 gts and Sy.No.577/3 to an extent of Ac.1.00 cents situated at Koppolu Village, Ongole Mandal, Prakasam District under Sec 22-A by not considering the meeseva application vide No.TTA0121000079832 and TTA012100079692, dated 13.12.2021 requesting to delete the petitioners agricultural lands from the prohibitory list and to pass such other order or orders..."
2. Though the petitioners made several allegations against the
respondents, during hearing, Sri T.Niranjan, learned counsel for
petitioners limited his request to dispose of the online
application Nos.TTA012100079832, dated 13.12.2021 and
TTA012100079692, dated 08.12.2021 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 online application
Nos.TTA012100079832, dated 13.12.2021 and TTA012100079692,
dated 08.12.2021 submitted by the petitioners, if any, pending with
the respondent-authorities.
4. Recording the submissions of the learned Assistant
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 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 no service to the cause of justice. As the learned
counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to
dispose of the online application Nos.TTA012100079832, dated
13.12.2021 and TTA012100079692, dated 08.12.2021 submitted by
the petitioners and pass appropriate orders, 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 consider online application
Nos.TTA012100079832, dated 13.12.2021 and TTA012100079692,
dated 08.12.2021 submitted by the petitioners and pass appropriate
orders, in accordance with law, within four (04) weeks from the date
of receipt of copy of this order. No costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall
also stand closed.
