THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.14464 of 2002 ORDER: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the respondents are trying to interfere with his possession and enjoyment over his patta lands by laying a road from Kandanathi Village to Venkatagiri Village deviating the existing road, without following due process of law. This Court, while issuing Rule nisi on 08.08.2002, directed the respondents not to lay the road on the patta lands of the petitioner, unless the lands are acquired in accordance with law. Subsequently, the respondents filed counter in the matter denying the allegations made by the petitioner in the writ affidavit. It is stated in the counter that there is a cart track from Kandanathi to Venkatagiri by the side of the lands of the petitioner, that in the said cart track, the respondents proposed to lay a road under Food for Work Programme and that there is no proposal to lay the said road through the patta lands of the petitioner by deviating the existing road. It is categorically stated in the counter that the respondents have never tried to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over his patta lands and that on mere apprehension, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. It is also stated that if really the lands of the petitioner are required for laying the road, the same would be acquired by following due process of law. Heard the learned counsel. In view of the categorical assertion in the counter that the respondents have never interfered with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over his patta lands and that they did not propose to lay a road through the patta lands of the petitioner, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:22.03.2010 VGB
