On the written instructions of the Tahsildar, Pamarru Mandal dated 06.08.2025, the Court was informed that the then Tahsildar had identified and proposed alternative lands (patta and acquired) measuring Ac.2.20 cents in R.S.Nos.38-2B, 3, 4 of the same village, which were already assigned to eligible poor persons with house site pattas under a State welfare scheme. Finding that the authorities had not proceeded with the subject land and that therefore no cause survived, Justice B Krishna Mohan disposed of the writ petition, deemed any interim order vacated, made no order as to costs, closed pending interlocutory applications, and directed that the written instructions dated 06.08.2025 form part of the Court record. No precedent or statute was relied upon.
