HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2534 of 2006 Date: 13.04.2011 Between : Egyarapu Venkati. …….Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtial & another. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2534 of 2006 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in interfering with his peaceful possession and enjoyment over an extent of 2 acres of land covered by Sy.No.871/1, situated at Mallapur village of Karimnagar District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that the 2nd respondent has issued final patta certificate in his favour, in Proceedings No.A5/25/84, dated 22.06.1984, in terms of the orders of Government in G.O.Ms.No.1406, dated 26.07.1968. In this writ petition, it is his grievance that inspite of the fact that he is in possession of the land, which is assigned to him, there is interference by the respondents. The 2nd respondent has filed counter affidavit, stating that the land in Sy.No.871 of Mallapur village is Government poramboke land, which was totally admeasuring 243.09 acres, out of which, 130 acres is included in reserve forest. It is stated that from the balance 113.09 acres of Government land, assignments have been made to an extent of 67.03 acres to 53 landless poor families for agriculture purpose and an extent of 46.06 acres is still available. It is stated that house sites were also granted to 124 beneficiaries in the same survey number. It is further stated that the land, which is assigned to the petitioner, covered by the assignment proceedings bearing certificate No.A5/25/84, dated 22.06.1984, is different from the land, which is being claimed by him. The petitioner is entitled to be in possession of the land, in respect of which, patta is granted in his favour by proceedings No. A5/25/84, dated 22.06.1984. If the total extent of land in the survey number is more than the land assigned to him, the petitioner cannot squat on the land, which is not assigned to him in the same survey number. As much as it is stated that the land allotted to the petitioner is a different land and as issuance of patta to the petitioner is not in dispute, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession of petitioner over the land, which is given possession pursuant to patta certificate bearing No. A5/25/84, dated 22.06.1984. However, it is made clear that the petitioner is not entitled to occupy any land covered by house sites. Subject to the above clarification, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 13th April 2011 ajr
