The petitioners claim to be the persons belonging to the backward community. The Social Welfare Department identified land to an extent of 5 acres in Sy.No.772/1 of Kalidindi Village & Mandal, Krishna District, for providing house sites to the weaker sections of the society. According to the petitioners, the said land was divided into plots and allotted to the eligible persons. It is stated that even after the said allotment, the land to an extent of 35 cents is still vacant, and the petitioners, who are entitled to be allotted this land, are eagerly waiting for such allotment. While so, the Gram Panchayat, with the active connivance of the villagers, is trying to dig cattle pond therein, and in such an event, great prejudice would be caused to the petitioners. Having come to know such a design by some well to do, people of the Village have made a representation to the District Collector, Krishna, the 2nd respondent herein, on 01-07-2013. This was followed by another representation dated 07-04-2015, but so far no orders have been passed. Hence, this writ petition.
