.....Respondents
Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying
that in the circumstances stated in the affidavit filed herein, the High Court
may be pleased 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 taking steps to allot the plots situated in the old
Collectorate area of Nalgonda town to the genuine members of 7th
respondent like the petitioners as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional and
consequently direct the respondents to cancel the allotments made in
favour of the members of the 6th respondent association at the behest of
the 6th respondent association after declaring that the allotment made vide
proceedings dated 30.06.2009 by the 4th respondent is illegal and violation
of the law laid down by this Hon'ble Court and also the A.P. (T.A) Alienation
of State Lands and Land Revenue Rules, 1975 after directing the authorities
to implement the G.O.Ms.No.324 dated 26.02.2009 in favour of the
members of the seventh respondent association like the petitioner as per
the judgments of this Hon'ble Court;
The petition coming on for hearing, upon perusing the
Petition and the affidavit filed herein and upon hearing the arguments of SRI
K.S. MURTHY Advocate for the Petitioners, and of Govt. Pleader for
Revenue for respondents 1 to 5, and of Sri P.S.P.Suresh Kumar, Advocate
for respondents 8 to 11, the Court made the following:
..Contd.
ORDER:
" The petitioners, who claim to be members of the seventh respondent, are seeking allotment of plots in terms of G.O.Ms.No.324, dated 26.02.2009.
Sri P.S.P.Suresh Kumar, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.8 to 11, would submit that it is not the seventh respondent, but the sixth respondent which paid the price fixed under G.O.Ms.No.324, dated 26.02.2009, i.e., at Rs.5,390/- per square yard.
A perusal of the said Government Order reveals that even the basic value register as on 17.08.2005, (nearly three and half years prior to issuance of the said Government Order), reflected the basic value as Rs.5,520/- per square yard. It is not known as to what was the basic value in the year 2009 when the Government Order was issued. The plots were allotted allegedly to the members of the sixth respondent on payment of Rs.5,390/- per square yard which is even less than the basic value register as on 17.08.2005 of Rs.5,520/- per square yard.
With regards the ground situation, while Sri K.S.Murthy, learned Counsel for the petitioners, has placed before this Court a few photographs in support of his submission that, except for a few metal pillars having been erected even without being filled up with concrete, Sri P.S.P.Suresh Kumar, learned Counsel for respondent Nos.8 to 11, would submit that pits have been dug, pillars raised, and no structures have as yet been constructed on the subject land.
I consider it appropriate, therefore, to call for a report regarding the nature and extent of construction on subject land.
The learned Principal District Judge, Nalgonda, is requested to depute a Judicial Officer for inspection of the subject lands. The said Officer shall, with the assistance of the Government Officials, carry out an inspection and submit a detailed report about the nature and extent of construction on the subject land. The report shall be submitted to this Court latest by 30.11.2012. Post on 03.12.2012 in the Motion List. Status quo as on today shall be maintained for a period of one week.
Registry shall send a copy of this order to the learned Principal District Judge, Nalgonda, today.
