WRIT PETITION No.10653 of 2015



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: [not specified]
For the Respondents: Sri.H.Rakesh Kumar

Judicial efficiency requires that representations must be acted upon without unreasonable delay, but dismissals are justified if no viable options exist.

Headnote:The petitioner, Avatar Mehar Baba Perfectual Public Charitable Trust, filed a writ petition seeking directions for the consideration of its representation dated 07.03.2015 regarding land allocation for a prayer Mandir. The petitioner claimed that the respondents failed to act on this request, which it deemed arbitrary. The court found no merit in the petition, noting that the representation was indeed considered and no available land existed to allocate. The ruling emphasizes the requirement for viable land details in such requests. The final order dismissed the petition but allowed future applications for appropriate land.

2. This writ petition is filed seeking the following prayer:-

“to declare the action of the respondents in not considering and disposing of the representation dated 07.03.2015 is arbitrary and illegal and consequently issue a direction to the Respondents to consider and dispose of the representation dated 07.03.2015.”

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a trust under name and style “Avatar Mehar Baba Perfectual Public Charitable Trust”, situated at Yellareddypet Village and Mandal, Karimnagar District, registered vide document No.BKIV No.2/2009. The said trust was formed with an intention to inculcate ideology of Saint Avatar Mehar Baba and also to undertake social welfare activities. The case of the petitioner is that when the devotees of Yellareddypet Village were in view of constructing a prayer Mandir at Yellareddypet village, one Sri.Komireshetti Gangadhar, Sri.Alladi Srinivas Sircilla and others have given their land admeasuring Ac.1-24 guntas, situated at Karimnagar- Kamareddy, Yellareddypet Village. Since, the said land was under litigation, the temple could not be constructed. Further case is that the petitioner on 07.03.2015, made a representation and requested respondents to provide Ac.1.00 gts of land any where in the route on Yellareddypet town to Gollapally main road or Narayanapur road or Alamspur or in Sircilla road and submitted that basing on the present market value, the trust is ready to pay the amount for the said land. However, representation was kept pending. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submits that counter is filed on behalf of respondent No.4 and submits that the petitioner in their representation mentioned that there is Government land available in the vicinities, however, failed to mention whether the said land is a Government or patta land, assigned or not and even failed to mention the details with respect to survey numbers. It is further submitted that since, the Yellareddy village is a Mandal head quarter, situated by high way from Karimnagar to Kamareddy, is developed and the market value of the lands situated by road side are also higher, hence, ryots are not coming forward to sell-

away their lands.

5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that as per the Government norms, several units like industries have been installed and since, no Government land was left un- assigned and un-developed, the “Bulk Milk Chilling Centre” sanction to this Mandal was arranged at venkatpoor Village. It is further submitted that the Government itself is in need of land for constructions of buildings for Police station and quarters, IKP, Excise, Anganwadi centres etc., Since, no such land is available to alienate or allot to the petitioner trust, learned Assistant Government Pleader pray this Court to pass appropriate orders.

Upon perusal, it is noticed that the prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation dated 07.03.2015 and the respondents have already considered the petitioner representation and in counter clearly stated that no land is available to alienate or allot to the petitioner.
