His case is that Mandal Rvenue Officer, Dammapet, issued final patta certificate in respect of land admeasuring Acs.2.10 cents in survey No.697/3 situated at Nagupalli Village under patta Rc.No.A/360/90/99. Possession was delivered to petitioner, who obtained pattadar pass books bearing No.1475(U) – 278298. He alleges that on 03.03.2001, second respondent, namely, Forest Range Officer removed the fencing and attempted to dispossess petitioner. Petitioner was not given any notice nor he was heard. Therefore, he filed instant writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 and 2 in entering his lands and trying to dispossess him as illegal and arbitrary. Though the matter has been admitted by this Court on 22.04.2002, respondents have not filed any counter so far. The grievance of petitioner that he cannot be disposed or evicted from the land in survey No.697/3 can be redressed by observing that if the patta is granted validly, petitioner cannot be dispossessed unless the patta is cancelled after conducting enquiry with due notice to petitioner. The writ petition, with the above observation, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.08.2009 pln
